Default bumper questions

ok well I like body kits. and i got one on my car but the front end had a lil incident happen. and i need a new front. but i was wanting a stock front end and just get a lip kit.

IM NOT CHANGING MY WHOLE CAR CAUSE I LIKE IT

but i was wondering if i had a stock front with lip kit. and body kit sides and rear.

would that look weird?

or should i just get another body kit bumper
?

get another body kit bumper... the side skirts and rear bumper will be about an inch lower than the stock front end with a front lip. It doesn't sound like much, but trust me... from the side of the car, there's a big difference in height.

(And I had a Mugen front lip with Black Widow body kit skirts last summer, so I'm speaking from experience )

i think it looks perfectly fine, that is if the body kit isn't TOO ridiculous. ^ Reaper's side skirts are pushing it a bit, but thats an example of how it looks just fine.

ya it all depends on your current body kit....


i prefere oem with alittle added style. so lip kits and painted skirts are all i will instal. with anything lower its just really prone to damage. expecialy if its fiberglass! fiberglass is not ment to even touch the road surface!

thanks guys. i been trying to find shells or OEM bumpers. and i found this 2000 Si shell. looks like good condition. but i got a 1998 Ex. so im guessing the back bumper, tail lights should fit? and whole 99-00 conversion in the front right?

yeah, everything should bolt right up. To change anything on the front end (fenders, hood, bumper, I'm not sure about the headlights), you need to swap everything over (personally, I like the 99/00 front bumper better anyway).
