Front Bumper Question

I want to get the buddy club front bumper by itself until I get the money for sides and a back. I was just wondering what you guys think of having just a front bumper. Do you think it looks retarded without the sides on too? I know it will be lower but I dont want to do it if its gonna look stupid. Hopefully some people with just a front bumper will help me out. Thanks guys

it might look a little weird. i don't know how much lowwer the buddy club goes below factory bumper. if you're getting buddy club front and different sides like kaminari or wings west, then buy it and put it on to see what it looks like. if you're doing all buddy club then wait til you have everything because you could definetly save some cash. especially shipping charges. i had just a front on my 96 civic 4dr and it looked fine, but that model also had the factory black side-skirts on which helped but weren't the same as aftermarket sides. right now i'm chilling with sides and rear and no front[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]

dude, i have the tsunami front end with no sides or back. it looks real nice. i also have about a 2 inch drop with 17s. i plan on getting the sides and the back, but for now it looks really good. as long as your car is dropped down fairly far it will look good. good luck, later

heheh. tsunami front end. . no skirts. .. . no back? I think it would look a bit funny. I would just buy the whole kit wether you buy it all together or piece by piece then have it painted then installed. You right about getting other peoples opinions. It's rare that someone is able to criticize themselves.

This is what I actually plan on doing. I'm gonna buy the parts by themselves but not have them painted or installed until I have the whole kit

I am going to have 17" konig verticts on when I get the bumper though. Do you think it would look better then? How much should I expect to pay for painting the bumper. It comes with the holes drilled so I can install it myself.
