Default Do people steal WW RS Lips?

I want to buy a wingswest RS front lip for my honda civic hatchback but I do not want someone to just yank it off in the middle of the night. I was planning on using bolts, nuts and washers to fasten it on so that it becomes difficult. I know that there is hardware included but I just want to make it a little harder for criminals. Anyone have any problems with someone trying or succeeding to stealing your front lip??

thieves will take anything they want off your car, just put it on..dont use that stupid *** sticker tape crap they give u.. i used 5 body screws instead. 3 along the bottom..2 on the sides..like an oem lip would have. put some nuts on the back of the screws and call it a day.

Do what I did....USE the double-stick tape AND several body screws. The tape is there for a reason and it's stickier than you would think. Why WOULDN'T you use it? The more to help keep the lip on your car the better.

For some odd reason you are very anti-sticky tape...No one will ever know why. I used the tape plus a few screws...But like he said, if they want it, they can take it. I'm not to worried though, people like to steal from me I almost expect it.

I took my car to a body shop and they used a rivet gun to secure my lip.
