Are you lipless?

I've talked to a lot of evo owners especially guys with 03's and 04's and most of us have either lost the lip or bumper completely and have had to replace it once or twice (due to ride height, speed bumps, sidewalks, curbs, rocks, moving trailor ramps, etc.. lol) and then there's those of us who had the lip torn off on accident without causing any damage to the bumper and have just chosen to leave it off (me)... I plan to get a new one, but in all honesty it's not bugging me that much with it off.

So how many of you right now are riding lipless?

Mine got torn off (along with the undertray) while I was backing it off the trailor from when we towed it here during the move. The ramps were just too high and I know when I drove it on- it wasn't coming off without some help. We tried our hardest to keep the lip on while driving it off, but we went too far and RIIIIP off it came.

Sucks.... But at least the bumper is still on along with the little notches for the lip. Not sure what I'm gunna do for now.

Backing it out of a trailer? Thats so easy a caveman can do it.

The stock lip is still on there (if you can even consider it a lip). however I dont plan to add an aftermarket one to the car. The roads out here are a pain in the *** it is, it would be bashed up in a few weeks.

lol my fav commercials.. Well it's not a regular deal the front tires had to go over these up ramps to steady the car and unfortunately those up ramp parts were 2 inches higher than my lip so once it went on I knew getting it off was going to be a ***** and it was- and I lost the lip.

Still got the stocker. Well, took it off and put on an aftermarket. That got busted, so it went back to stock. Took all of about a week.

I love the lip on my SE IX compared to the non-lip of my old VIII, looks so much nicer. Too bad I can't get the damn car into any type of car wash now cuz the front hangs down to low with my coilovers. I hate washing my own car. 4k miles on it and still havn't washed it yet, have to now though since it just got egged the other day along with my buddies Evo too.
