Just installing rear under spoiler and leaving everything else stock

just installing a-spec rear under spoiler and leaving everything else stock kit.. how will that look? will it match with the stock side skirts and front bumper i want to mod one thing at a time will it look stupid with the rear too low? i mean the stock bumper is shaped inclining upward so the a-spec rear spoiler will bring it down a bit with i make the side skirts not look like they fit and if there is an ex. pic that'll be great thanks guys

Most people will tell you to go big or go home, and to just do it all at once. I don't think it would look too bad assuming it was only for a couple weeks at a time between installing the sides and front, we all have budgets and timelines to observe.

If you can, do it all at once!

I'm with lift3d on this one. If you have it already or if you happen to get a good deal on it grab it and keep it til you can do all at one shot.

I'm against buying/installing them in pieces for 3 reasons:

1) You'll get a better price on the kit as a whole.
2) You'll spend less on labor if you get it all done at once.
3) I think it will look odd.

^^ I agree 100%. Having the rear on alone will definitely look odd.

not sure why you plan to piece it out one at a time if your final decision is to have it all done anyways.. just get the whole kit and put it on...

dont be one of "THOSE" guys that like just one piece then later finds out that it looks odd and have to spend more money to buy the other pieces.

the rear ALWAYS Looked odd to me.

if you're gonna do a piece, do the front as that's what every one sees.

the rear aspec is just designed HORRIBLY.

Don't leave long spans in between piecing it together. Like 3 to 4 months here and 3 to 4 months there. Sun starts hitting the paint and washing, before you know it the car will have all different shades of the same color paint on it

In fact, the two rear aero pieces are the worst looking pieces in the entire factory body kit.

So, some have installed only the front and side pieces, but stayed clear of the rear pieces.

I agree with everyone else and should have it done at one shot.
As HeartTLs mentioned, the full kit will be cheaper than buying 1 piece at a time.

However, if you must, my suggestion would be in the following order.
1. side
2. front
3. rear.
