    Anyone with a front lip take it off in the winter as to not damage it an/or get more ground clearance. Also has anyone left theres on and gotten it damaged much at all over a winter.

    I always left my lip on and never had any problems.

    In my Subaru... ALL THE TIME!
    Last year my front lip was donated to the gods on our first significant snow fall... I had to drive for work and didn't get it taken off in time. Put it this way, it was trying to double as a snow plow of some sort... :eek3:

    If you plan on playing on occasion in the snow, then I would say take it off, but if you like to spend money on replacement lips then by all means, plow away! ;)
