Buying only the front lip of a body kit?

I was thinking of putting only the front lip of a body kit on my car, im not sure of what type.. maybe something like the mazdaspeed. i would buy the whole kit but as of right now i can afford it. I will buy the whole kit in good time but i dont want it to look weird. Has anyone ever just put the front lip on there car? Will it look bad?

If you are talking about Mazdaspeed then that is a bumper. There are lips as well and many here have gone that route. Either can look good with the OE appearance package. Of course it just depends on how the new front lip/bumper flows with everything else.

I think they look better with just a lip kit rather than the entire bumpers...some of those body kits look real ricey...they just dont look as good as the factory bumpers IMO.

Thumbs up

If you can get your hands on a INGS frontend., by all means do it if thats your style. had minds since their conception and have always had compliments where ever I've been. Many here have there own way they perceive what the ultimate 8 should look like I can only can say that the INGS worked for me. But build it up to reflect your own personal taste of what it should be ...............hmmmmm,, oh well, I expect theres going to be someone out there whos going to flame me on my idea of THE 8..... what ever, just make a few changes as time allows and enjoy what it brings.......... Later my friend
