Default Vertex bumper without doing any other body mods?

Anyone have any pics of the vertex bumper on the Z without any sideskirts or anything else? Im thinking of doing just the bumper by itself but would like to see how it looks before I do it. Thanks

Ohhh it didnt quite sink in to what he was asking. Yeah it might look a little front heavy with just the bumper. Wish I would have went with a Vertex but the wait was 3+ months and Im not good at waiting for things. My sides and rear are Wings West and I got those when there weren't many kit options for the Z. Im still very happy with them and the Origin replica bumper.

Don't cut corners. Do the whole kit and you won't regret it! You can't go wrong w/ a kit like the Vertex full kit.

Ive already got wheels, and F/I and now what to focus on lowering it and doing some body mods to complete the car. I thought that just the bumper would look good, Im not a huge fan of the side and want to keep the stock rear. Maybe someone has just the bumper and sides on?
