Thanks

Would the front hang too low? Or would it be ok?

Decamo has a little shameless behaviour in the past
It would look wrong. You could get by with it if you got at least the side skirts at a later date but the proportions of the car are screwed up with only the front.

I am going to do it, I don't think it looks that bad, I just am going to have to buy one piece at a time. I could try to save the money but I know myself, I will spend it on other stuff. (Playstation, clothes, beer, etc. etc...) before I ever saved up enough to buy it all at once. But if I have the lip on, I will buy the skirts sooner because I think it looks incomplete. You know, modivational tatics.

Hey dude- I got only the front first, and had it on for a few weeks. It looks fine, dont' worry. It doesnt' make the front lower than the rest, it stays even with the orginal bumper. I got the OEM sides too but not the back, it looks fine without it. Check my sig if you want to see.

Yeah man, the OEM kit is so clean..did you buy it seperate from the dealer then put it on yourself? Or did you pay to have it put on? and if you did the install, is it really as easy as the directions make it look?

But I do think you should consider getting the last skirt for the rear, it does not look bad at all...very nice...but I think the last piece would just finish it. Ya know..warp it all together and give it that finished streamlined look with the lines all lining up....very smooth. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]
