Molding on lips and skirts
I prefer the way molded lips and bodykits look on cars then ones that are just added on. However, I hear that if you mold the pieces on then you risk the chance of them breaking on you and having a broken lip or whatever molded on.
The question that I have is, that I can only imagine the above situation being a problem with the front lip. So do you guys think it'd be ok to mold on some side skirts and a rear lip and just have the front lip attached?

I think it would be best to mold the rear and the sides rather than the front. If you crack that lip, you'd have to replace the whole bumper. Or drive with a fucked up, cracked bumper. If you wanted to replace it then you'd have to buy another lip and pay for it to be remolded to the replacement bumper. The front lip looks really dope molded though.

Depends on what material the kit is made of...urethane will take a beating but fiberglass will crack like a bitch.
If it's urethane, then mold it...FG, forget about it.

I would definitely not mold the sides. that is just plain stupid for an everyday car. ur dealing with three body panels!! just getting the front and rear molded and painted look to spend about $1200 then add the price of the lips so bout $1500. then get the sides molded and painted and ur lookin at another $1000 easy. if u go that far u might as well get the bumpers molded to the fenders. hopefully you'll never have to drop the bumpers.
heres and idea of what it looks like
