Default Sideskirts & Rear with out front lip?? Any Body?

I am looking to see if any one has sideskirts and a rear lip without the front.

I have Eibach SPortline Springs and the front already sits very low, but the rear not so much. So I was thinking of getting Side Skirts and rear lip without the front.

Looking for suggestions, opinions, Pictures

Thanks all

Yeah I'm not sure. Its just that i dont want to get a front lip and have it break off/get trashed the first month. Where I live now, my front end already gets very low in the dirt drive. Then at my work is a steep slope where my front is maybe a 1/2 inch when i turn hard and drive slow.

Are there any front lips that aren't much lower than the front bumper?

OR

Should I just work on making a small front lip?

Five axis might be the only one that does not go too low.

Don't get a 5 axis kit if you are already scraping the last thing u want is to mess up a $1,000 lip kit. Your best bet get an rs1 kit cuz it's inexpensive and if you crack the front u can pick another on eBay for $100 something bucks. That or no lipkit at all. 3 rear and skirts would look funny plus you would end up paying as much for the seperate pieces as the whole set

You shouldn't have any problems with a 5axis front.
Angle if you have to and you'll be fine.

Just don't put on only a rear and side skirts, booo.

atleast yours is the 5 axis front lip which is somewhat excusable because it doesnt go go that low...

but every time I see a car with just the RS1 front lip I just shake my head

but this is all off topic and offensive to some so /comment

Im running a full 5Axis kit with H-Techs on my RS2. I have had no problems. You might have to watch your angle in some situations, but I have had no problems with speed bumps. I would stay away from only side skirts and a rear lip. It would not look good.

hmm.. Well I guess Ill have to think about it. As is, my Front doesn't Hit or have problems, BUT in some places I already angle and drive slow or I will scrape. Maybe i will try and stop on those spots and see how much clearance i have and take a pic.

I really Like the 5 axis kit, but it is a bit pricey.

rear and sides w/o a front will look rediculous. the body lines wont flow at all because the sides and rear will be lower than the front.
