I just wanna buy the front chin... I am wondering if anyone wants to get in on it too, and buy the sidekirts and rear so they can save a little bit... Also 1/3 shipping? Hit me back
ECAP was trying to do something like this... dunno if it worked or not...

It'll look so weird with just the front. I've driven around with just the front for a while and have taken pictures. It sits lower than the rest of the car and looks like a shovel without the rest of the kit. Just my opinion.

I want the front and rear....if you want the sides......Sounds like you are in the same boat as me......I'll probably just break down and buy the whole thing......Its just that my 03 sides are soooo shiney and perfect I can't justify ripping them off!!
The kit looks a lot better if you have non-stock suspension as well..

Mike~ Do you have better pictures of just the front?
ND4SPDIII's car looks good with just the front... I really dont want the side or rear... lol... I wanna see what rksport looks like 1st... but... I really like the front...
Also... If I drop it I heard it would be way too close to the ground... Irate has springs and the kit and i heard he was only 2 " from the ground...

Yeah, it does look better. But not for long. This is what has happened with CAREFUL driving on stock suspension in Michigan.

How'd he manage a 5" drop?

No... He means 5" from the ground...
Also I guess SC roads are a lot better than MI's

Its a daily driver for me, so I do have to be careful with parking lots and steep lot entrances. But you do have to be careful, even with stock suspension and even more so with lowered. Also, if you want to get your car put on a lift like for oil changes or tire rotations, you'll have to be careful with where you take it cause of how low it will be. Just some tips.

Hehe no prob. Just be careful. I have my friends get out of the car and see how much room I have and I just barely make it some driveways sometimes. You just have to go slow so your suspension doesn't compress. The kit will look just fine without a drop. As much as I want one (more for the suspension improvement) I can't do it. So i'm looking into coil-overs which would give me the added suspension enhancement while still allowing me to lower and raise the car when I want.

he he, yeah I saw your careful driving the other night when you jumped that curb Mikey.:D (j/k, you know I'm kiddin')
Why are you guys worrying about dividing up the kits? Aren't the individual peices available on PFYC now? Not sure but I thought they were.

Yeah yeah...I hit everything BUT the front spoiler that time!
The kit costs almost $300 more if you buy it individually, as opposed to buying it as a whole.

I thought it only cost $80 more if you buy it indivudally (well plus shipping)... but I really ONLY want the front...

Don't worry about the front scraping too much (I have Eibachs). The only time I've scraped was one time when I entered a steep driveway... oh, and seth's driveway... that's about it. None of the scratches come up to the front where you can see them, so its a non-issue.

actually i was looking for just the sides and rear sc/t... but i wanted to see some pics of it first... would the sides look that much lower that the front would?

I don't think so... you could go to www.pfyc.com and check it out... Just let me know!
I posted a pic a month ago of what the sc/t would look like with no front. To see, click the link below (courtesy of Papiogt... got it right this time)

As for my opinion, the sides come down far enough to make the front look too high up.

Exactly. It would look awkward.
Or, if you had the money and the help of a REALLY good body shop, it MAY be possible (hasn't been attempted yet) to modify the height of the chin spoiler as seen below:

Hey!!! That's the Greenbelt Dealership here in Maryland. I remember when I went there to go see the orange SC/T car and the Silver SC/T car.

My only concern would be that the side flares would start to interfere with the front bumper... I'll try to snap a pic this weekend.
