i wanted to know what u guys think about getting a front only body kit put on.....for now anyway.... woman backed into me and im getting an insurance check for $700 so i wanted to put an aftermarket front bumper on...only problem is wiil it look like **** without the rest done??? please feel free to speak your mind....

 

A lip wouldnt look bad at all, a full bumper might look outta place.

 

if it's a Tommy Kaira looks great, if you like the stillen stage 1 and 2 those only come down like 1/2 an inch lower than stock as well and look good. Just don't get one that hangs more than that compared to stock b/c it will look funny.

 

and lips look like you just taped a piece of plastic on the bumper, looks very cheesy to me.

 

I have Nismo V1 Replica in the front w/o the nismo sides + rears ( even though im looking for a good deal on them ) and it doesn't look bad all. For $700 you could pick up a full nismo replica.

 

I have seen body kit pieces mixed and matched. Some I like. Some I do not. But who cares what I think. Its your car.

 

If you go conservative it will look great! +1 on the Nismo V1. Get the replica in polyurethane though. Its a great piece and more resilient than FRP or CF

 

I've got the Nismo lip kit, and while I love the look, it's quite low to the ground. If you really stay alert, it's a nice decision. But easily destroyed by a hasty parking job.

I worked with a guy at a shop that just got the Stillen front end (without the rest of the body kit), and it actually didn't look really out of place (except for the intake port, that looks a little odd if you don't know what you're looking at). But I really liked it. Not sure on cost.
