I thought about it when I installed my mini spoiler. It is very light weight and anything that hits it will break it away from the car. I considered a steel bar under it. Then figured it would do more damage to the lower nose if it hits. I like your first idea of making it removable. I have seen one pantera with air bags that lift it over the tough spots.
