Default Clip on lip ok with no screws just tape???

hey guys just wondering if anyone with a lip that clips on to the bumper did you just leave it clipped on or screwed some screws on for security?

i have a replica hiro lip on my 4th gen prelude and it clips on and everything. So i put some double sided tape all around it. No screws thoe. Just wondering if i hit a pothole what are the chances this thing will fall off?

Use wood screws in that thing. Put each screw an inch apart for best results.

If you're okay with it falling off and you running over it, sure. I wouldn't do it though.

I don't have tape on my front lip...just screws. If you use screws and tape, it's going to be more sturdy of course. My old lip was like that and nothing took it off. It was even armadillo tested.
