thanks plethoric33for getting my pics up, i think i'm going to get side skirts, but i don't really like any of the rear bumpers that are out there, what do you think about putting a lip on the rear bumper to even things up?

a rear lip will not compensate for the heaviness brought about by the front bumper. get the rear bumper and skirts. also, paint that asap, even if it's with ghetto $2 kmart spray cans first...

If you drive around for a long period of time with an unpainted bumper, chances are that when you get it painted it won't come out looking like it should. This is due to the weather getting in to the material and that could mess up the paint.

I agree, lip wont do anything to help the balance. You need to just find a modest rear bumper and some side skirts asap...the paint. If you cant afford it, it would be a good time to learn to paint yourself.
