Stillen front lip

I know there has been plenty of discussion around here regarding this mod but was wondering if anyone has had any issues with installing the lip and then driving it through a winter season that involves snow? In particular has anyone had the lip come loose due to cold temps, etc.? Trying to figure out which mods to do but wondered if i will have problems down the road as it relates to our weather in Minny?

I have had mine through the 2ft of snow that we experienced not to long ago. Never had any problems. Holds up well..and you'll screw in the sides anyway. I wouldn't install it if it is going to snow, just wait until spring..which I regret, now I'll have to repaint it.

^ yup same here...prepare for front end paint jobs annually,well thats what i have been doing with all my cars due to winter mileage and conditions- which is pretty much like sand blasting for 6 month/year
I actually bought another bumper...which is going to be my summer bumper with the lip...and the stock one will be without for the winters

Yes..you do haha. Warm weather brings out not only the beauty in cars..but women too haha..idk where I am going with this...

You'll learn from experience trust me though.

@eej...That is actually a great idea..if I wasn't getting the 2014 Nismo..I would actually be doing this as well. Very good idea.
