just stillen front lip?

i want my car to look a little (not so stock) but i also want a sleeper look as well and my question is.... would it look really stupid or unbalanced if i was to just put the stillen front lip spoiler on, without the side skirts or rear section??? i dont have the money for the whole body kit nor that much of a desire to spend that much for it, and if i do jsut get the lip spoiler do any of you have trouble in the winters with your body kits???? like gettign stuck in show and bs like that??
thanks for any replies.

If you are going for a sleeper look, I'd suggest staying away from the body kits. What about rims? Springs? Corner or tail lights?

No!

With just the front lip, your bumper looks like it's 4 inches lower than your sides and rear. It just doesn't flow at all. Get the whole body kit at the same time or not get it at all... would be my advice! Plus people can tell you are missing the rest of the body kit.

some people (like me) have colormatched splash guards to compliment the lip. i guess in time i would like at least the side skirts (i like the way the rear guards look) or im going to just sell the lip in a year or so

tifosi ive said it before but you have one of the cleanest max's

I chose to buy the full kit. I've seen to many people with a front lip trying to buy the sides and the rear sections. If you insist on just the front lip, try hooking up with someone who wants the sides and rear. Maybe if you bye a full kit together, you can both save money....just a thought

put the whole kit on.. it looks kinda funny w/ the front so low..
also about the winter, you probably will not run into any problems unless your trying to plow snow with the lip.. LOWER the car!!
