Does anyone have just the A-spec front lip?

Does anyone have pics of their car with just the a-spec front lip on it? From the pictures I see, the sideskirts look no different in size or shape to the stock ones. Could i get away with just the front and rear lip?

I agree, I would do the rear just because it adds to the rear (obviously, haha) but the sides aren't worth it IMO, atleast now. I will do it but no time soon.

I think ill just go with the front and rear lip for now from what i see. Now my problem is, since i now have the 07 type s rear bumper, when i get the rear lip, will alabaster silver metallic match my satin silver metallic car?

No, the colors are a little different, did you get the bumper painted or using the ASM?

I dont know if you know this or not, but you're going to have to cut the rear bumper in order for the rear TLS aspec lip on. -Dremel the exhaust opening about 2" all around the ehxuast outlets

i had just the front for the longest time. didnt like the rear enough for it to be worth it to me and didnt need the side skirts if i didnt get the rear.

then when the type S lip came out, i had to get it. so i got the side skirts as well.

ya the side skirts dont seem like they are much different but they are lower. it completes the look from the side if you have the front and rear. if you dont have the sides and just the front and rear, it looks a bit odd from the side. its not low enough and doesnt flow.

Here's mine with just the front lip. I didn't go for the rear because I think it looks too much like an add-on. The front looks like it's supposed to be there.
I couldn't add the sides or rear anyway because of the wheel 'pants' which I got for their functionality instead of just looks. They help prevent a lot of scratches and chips from road debris.

i have just the front lip. people always drag their feet getting in the car as it is. having the a-spec sides stick out further in my case is just asking to be pissed off lol.

i have been thinking about the back but idk I kinda like the way it looks now.

I never thought about that issue with the side skirts. I never planned on getting the full aspec (I'm happy enough with the front lip) but that would probably be very annoying

Tim has the best price i have been able to find---$277 + $3 handling = $280 total. Every other place I've seen kills you with shipping. If anyone finds a better deal, please share.

Wow! Only $3 handling? What about shipping? Is that included?
