    How many is lips have you lost?

    I just lost mine on the interstate. Tire blew out and took out the lip. Couldn't turn around to get it or pull over without causing an accident.
    :(

    This will be going on the third lip in a year I've ha to replace.

    First one was stolen.
    Enlighten me with your stories.

      I knocked my vulva lip off about 3 or 4 times before I said eff it. Never again. Finally manned up and bought a OEM IS lip from Blunt. I hope not to lose it

        Knocked it off in cali twice, once in Vegas, once here in Utah; when in Vegas I ran over it and cracked it. I guess I'm just cheap and would rather run a ziptied lip than buy a new one.

          Never.

          Throughly Ziptied Valvo lip FTL.

          Do people really steal these things? I may just run an I lip when i get a proper valence if these are high theft items....

            I just wrecked my first 3 weeks ago coming back from a hockey game. The guy in front of me had some wood fall off his car which in turn took off my lip. Best part of this was is my lip pitched up after I ran it over and blasted the ladies windshield behind me totally destroying it lol. She was pissed. Now I must rock backup I lip -_____-

              Whenever I get a new one I'm going to try and reinforce it on with washers and screws. I'll let you know how that goes if and when it happens.

                Then instead of losing the lip you'll also bend the shit out of your valence.

                    I had my '91 318is for about 20 years.
                    Went through 5 lips during that time.

                      Twice. I just run a I lip now without the clips. I have it zip tied to prevent easy theft.

                        Too many to count.

                        Literally more than ten over the course of these last few years.

                        I have tried everything, from washers and screws to zip ties and clips.

                        I am uber low, and its a decision that I made and am living with.

                          I crunched one doing about 2 mph leaving a parking lot. I looked at it in the rear view mirror briefly, then said goodbye. It was time for a new one anyways.

                              I thought that too, but Greg said no.

                              So what Greg says goes.
