Yeah dude just to be safe take the lip off for the winter. I live in colorado i know how that snow gets and you will not believe how many cars there are running around with busted up lips and rather front ends in general after the winter.

What did you put over the fog lights? Painted grill mesh or what.

thanks guys anyways I will be leaving the lip on, it has been left on for the past three winters and no problems whatsoever, all that is needed now is to get clear corners and inner fenders before the snow comes, I would like to get some HID's as well but money is tight

Winter for the lose, I'm gonna be putting my snow tires on my Z here in a couple of weeks. I'm not dropping down to steelies, but it will be weird seeing this car with 15" wheels on it for the first time ever. Could be worse though at least I've got my Cavy to save the miles from the car I've invested too much money in to. I broke some rare ground effects one winter on my other car because I left them on after being fine for years. The lip is simple enough to remove, I'd just hate to see these guys say I told you so in the event of worst case ice chunk scenario.

It kind of reminds me of PJs car now.

Man you are playing with fire or shall I say ice. I made it until just after the last snow of the year with my lip then a chunk scattered from the truck beside me and I could not avoid hitting it. Afterwards I felt like crap knowing that it could have been avoided if I was not so headstrong. Not to mention trying to find one used is a PITA and most junkyards don't have it and if they do they will not sell it without selling the whole bumper.

The summer version of your car is fu˘king awesome!!! As some of the guys said, remove the lip if you don't want to have any bad luck with it. These lips are pretty fragile. Raise your car an inch if you can.

I'm lowered on Sportlines (1.75") and my 2003 Z24 front gets repainted almost every spring lmao. Damn Quebec winters.
