would be ideal to. the lip pieces will be more pliable and hence adhere to the bumpers better. adhesive will also adhere better as well.

Since you live UT I'd suggest waiting till spring time to install the kit. Not cause of temperature but cause of damage that the road salt does to paint/lip kit.

^^true, that would be smart.......but I wouldn't blame ya if you couldn't wait.....I installed my kit on a December day myself.

Just do it in a garage. It should be at least 40 degrees in there. Run a hairdryer over the area to get the tape sticky. Don't drive in snow/rain for a couple days. You should be fine.

As someone mentioned hair dryer should work. My friend has a diesel heater in his garage he got from home depot and it heats stuff up great. We made his garage into a paint booth when it was like 30 ish outside.

I'd keep my ass inside the house in those temperatures. Thumbs up if you got balls installing the kit in that cold.
