rear and side body kit without the front

Not trying to start a war but I just don't like the A-spec front spoiler...

Too Honda for my taste... I actually like my front end looking similar to a benz.... (just the way it is) plus parking I will likely end up hitting those cement blocks and break it...

I'm thinking of putting on the rear and side skirts but was wondering if that would make it look half baked...

I currently have mud flaps, I guess those will have to go or can they be made to work with them on?

any opinions?

I'm sure it will look fine. Might want to leave the back off too. It'll look perfectly balanced using just the side sills. I've seen that before

I have A-spec sides and rear on mine RL right now and look fine, but I am waiting for Mugen front lip.

I think all the RL body kits look "stuck on" and so have resisted so far. (he says, having just bought the OEM spoiler :surrender ) The lines of the car, other than at the rear (hence the lip spoiler), seem pleasing enough to me.

I may be open to a change of mind after I've had the car a bit longer, though.

That's actually true to me as well... I think the lines are well designed from the get go (styling wise as far as I'm concerned).. I actually don't like the deck lip spoiler for some reason I can't explain... looks like an afterthought... I'm not a big fan of the rear body kit either but was itching to do something...

I guess I should be happy with my chrome wheels and leave things the way they are...

Interestingly, there's no big need to personalize the RL as there's not too many of them they're already personalized/rare... So far I've seen one other black RL on the road while driving and other than at the dealers and their test drives, I've seen one or two around... ( I live 3 miles from the dealer)

So where's that supercharger already?

I agree with you, I'm not a big fan of the a-spec kit myself due to the 'stuck on' look. That being the case I think your car would look a bit odd if you didn't have some kind of front lip to match up to the sides and rear of the kit.
