opinions needed on body kit decision

hey guys, ive been looking at quite a few sites and threads in regards to the aero mods i can do. just wanted to get a few opinions on what i think ill do. first of all a newb question... when it says im getting a bumper, does that include the piece above the chrome strip that goes around the headlights? here is what my plans are:

rod millen front bumper - nice and clean
wald gs sports line kit - thus the bumper question, i like the lip......

im guessing i wont be able to have botht the RMM bumper AND the wald front lip. my oem bumper has seen better days. unfortunately im on my blackberry now and cant post pics, all of these can be found at ltunedparts.com

thanks guys.

If its the rmm bumper, its a direct replacement for your oem bumper. If its the wald lip, it will attach over your oem bumper.
I prefer the look of a full bumper over the lip because the lip doesn't seem to flow as well, but that's just my opinion.

check the body kit sticky in the 2GS section.

I agree with this unless it's the TTE lip.

i read the thread about the rear bumper mounting holes being 1/4 inch too low. other than that i havent been able to find anything about poor fitment. after considering all the options, i think ill stick to the bumper replacement and go with the RMM kit. if the rear bumper is the only thing that has fitment issues i think ill be able to make it work. my fiances father is doing the work, id rather have him do it than a body shop that doesnt care. if anyone has any other thread references about RMM fitment, good or bad please post them. thanks again guys.
