Default Thinking about just getting a Front lip

I've been wanting to get a lip kit for awhile now but financially I can't afford a full kit painted right now. So I was just thinking about getting the Wald Replica Front Lip with no sides or rear. Do you guys think the flow of the car will look funny or would it be fine just having a front lip? I was also considering the Ing+ rep or Vertex Rep. Any input would be great and people with just front lips feel free to post pics

I personally don't like that specific lip without the rest of the kit. Have you thought about just a front under spoiler to change the flow of your car? Those usually look nice without the rest of the pieces IMO.

I think the Wald, Vertex and INGS front lips all look silly without the rest of the kit because the front hangs so much lower than everything else. If you want to rock just a front lip, I'd recommend GFX or Fabulous.

it's fine

I have the JP Vizage replica front only and matches up pretty well
I've seen an IS with only Wald front and it's fine too

If you were to get like INGS then it would be different story because that one is more bulky and hangs pretty low so it would look awkward, but Wald is okay for sure.

IMO I'd just be patient & save up for a legit kit in full. Just having a front would give it an uneven look

Save up and buy your kit together that way you'll save on painting / shipping cost.
