Question Need some advice...(aero lip question)

Just purchased my aero lip and got it back after getting clear bra'd today...my question is, should I wait until spring to install so all the snow/salt doesn't EFF it up or should I just say screw it and install now?

If it is clearbra'd, I would put it on now.


just make sure you do not run out with an ice storm. Hitting ice will damage your lip. Light snow, should not make a difference.

The only ice I could potentially hit is the crap that falls of the wheel wells on cars. Still on the fence about it. So more input would be greatly appreciated.

BTW I swerve to avoid anything that could potentially damage my car. Even if I hold up traffic to do so...

Besides, if you're going to install it then why not have the spoiler clear bra'd as well? Most installers have a cut for the spoiler ........... you're only going to wish you had later on.

Best of both worlds, right?

I agree, though it's already clear bra'd. I figure I'll throw it on tomorrow. Heck there's no point on waiting until spring because it's gonna be on next winter too. Might as well enjoy it now...the only way I'll regret slapping it on now is if anything happens to it. But I can't fore-see the future so I'll roll with it. Thanks guys!
