Purchasing full aspec kit or piece by piece?

Just recently got my WDP 06 Tl.
Only major physical flaw was under the front bumper were major scrapes from running over a curb.

I wanted to have it resprayed, but it would be a complete waste of money if I planned on getting an aspec kit anyway.

Do you guys think it would look odd to have the front aspec lip for a few weeks without side skirts and rear?

I know it will cost more, but the money isn't the issue really eventually paying more piece by piece, but don't want to spend $760 at the moment.

No. It will look great. Some members here prefer the front only. Some prefer the rear.

Partial doesn't look bad to me, but buy the whole kit and save on shipping. Then if you want to add the sides and rear, it's simple. Once you get the front on, you'll want the rest.

I'm piecing mine together, Just have the front aspec lip right now I think it looks great. If you have the money to get the full kit obviously go for it but just having the front lip alone wont look weird.

I am looking into buying the full lip kit, but I have seen some sketchy sellers..so question is where is the most reliable place to get a good fitting kit?

Coins, it won't look odd with just the front lip, but if you can afford the entire kit, go for it.

the front lip looks good without the other pieces. i for one am not a fan of the rear lip of the kit (that's just my personal preference).

if you have intentions of getting the entire kit....then buy it as a whole (it's cheaper in the long term vs piece by piece).

there is a group buy going on...oh wait...you're mediating that now that my memory has actually kicked in guess you're getting the whole kit. updates man updates...

If you don't have the money right now but plan to get the full kit eventually, then just get it together. If you only want the front or something.... then only get that.
