I am debating on going with a full front bumper or an INGS front lip. Is there any potential hazards of a front lip at high speeds? i wouldn't want my lip falling off and having my tires and concrete chew it up at 100+mph so then my car will spin out/flip or something.
I always tend to evaluate the worse case scenario and taking action to avoid it
Tell me what you guys think.

Probably more benefit than hazard if you install it correctly. You're forcing air to move under your car faster than before, making it less dense. You'll have more stability at around 100 mph than without it.
However, if it comes off the car would just run over and destroy it. Never heard of any cases where front lips or bumpers bit a tire coming off.
Point? Just secure as best as you can....screws and 3m tape.

As long as it is properly bolted to the front bumper it should not be an issue. I shredded a carbon fiber splitter going about 110mph.
I had some custom brackets and supports fabbed for the bumper and new splitter....rock solid now.

Having the front lip come off at highway speeds and running over it is the last thing I worry about. If it really happened, then it either means the lip wasn't designed properly or the person installed the lip didn't install it properly.
You have to be careful and slow down when you drive over small bumps on bridges, or else the front can scrape coming off the small bumps at over 60 mph on the highway.
