Stillen kit without lip anyone?

Anyone has on a stillen kit without the lip? Just wondering how it would look. With the lip you gotta be extra careful and all about scraping it. I scrape my front bumper badly enough.

I personally think it would look stupid without the lip, just like when people get the lip without the rest of the kit. It just looks like you cant afford to get the whole thing at once and it gives the car an unbalanced look.

If you really want to do it, why dont you photochop the front lip off someone's sig pic? (Unfortunately I dont have it here at work )

Heh thanks, copy all you want, its not like we're in the same area so its all good.
They're 17x7 Enkei RF1s. I think they are one of Enkei's cheaper wheel. I bought mine used for $300 CDN for the set I think. They only come in silver but mine were burnt from a car fire, so I sanded off the silver and repainted them black.
Im sure you'll be able to find a used set for real cheap!

Sorry I don't have the link, but 1HOTMAX posted the link to a site with one the other day. I think he called the post "This Page has the Hottest Cars" or something. Anyways it was a gold Max with the Stillen kit but no lip. I must agree it looked bad.

i think it would be alrite to just have the side skirts like some BMWs and the ford contour svts, but i think with the back you have to have the front, its not that much, and when it scrapes you can't see the damage, cause its underneath

I saw a black Maxima on the parkway yesterday with ugly chromes and a 3/4 Stillen body kit, just like your talkign about. Had the side skirts and rear valence, but no front lip.
Looked terrible in my opinion.
