Nuts/bolts would be more secure. But...it'll be a bad day if you catch the lip on something and tear the whole bumper cover off because the bolts are stronger than the plastic clips.

Ideally, you want the lip to break away with as little damage as possible to the rest of the car.

I was able to push the dent back in, but it looks ugly. Paint cracking around the edge that was caved in, scuff marks, and damage to the plastic's edge. It'll need an auto body paint shop to do the visible repair, that is, cleaning, sanding, paint matching/blending.

I'm going to try and contact some paint shops around Phoenix to get quotes on the work. I can't really afford for them to have the car for more than a day, really. I don't think it should take more than that, though. I also don't want to exactly be driving a DD with no front bumper fascia while they have it sitting in their work queue.

Dropped it off to have the lip kit installed. Normally I wouldn't even bother posting my anxiousness, but... I'M ANXIOUS! Hopefully there are no snags like with most things that involve modification. I watched my buddy drive away with my car to take it to the shop. Oh MY is that thing sexy!

I sent a picture of my car in front of my house to Archie Comics artist Dan Parent, and commissioned him to draw Betty & Veronica washing it

Thanks! These snow tires are so badass that because they're oversized the shop had to cut off a piece of the side skirt plastic because they were rubbing against the tires! It is nice to drive around on, though, with a beefy sidewall of 45 and a healthy width of 245 studded goodness.
