Default Body kit help

I want to get a lip kit for the car I'm looking at this one http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/131797...02955256_3.jpg now my question us because I know alot of ppl have this kit or other body kits, is can I only use the front lip and side skirts and leave the back stock. My reason is because I like the own style bumper. Now the problem is will the back be to high or will it flow with the side skits. Because I'm thinking aftermarket side skirts just ssitck out where our factory is kind of hidden and tuck. Idk if that makes sense.

I guess you will need all the kit for the perfect lining. That's always the general rule. In your case, I think your rear will be way too high compared to your front and your side skirt. Just get everything!

a lip kit material to the body of the car. if you do not get a rear lip, it will be pretty obvious

You can always just rock the front lip. I did that for over a year and it did not look bad. I'm sure you can find sides and rears you like later on, that may match up with the front lip.

It really depends on the style of front lip I'm planning in running just the auto couture front lip with no side skirts or rear pieces however the front lip is very subtle and non aggressive so it flows well will the factory body lines

So If I was to get the front lip will it not throw the flow form the aspect of the front looking lower then the sides and back. I don't want it to be an eye sore you know.
