I was thinking of doing the same thing - I posted another thread on the same subject and got mostly positive responses.
I think it would be fine, since the side skirts are pretty subtle. I think it blends just fine with the rear bumper, and is not so dramatic as to not work with the stock front.
Of course, at the end of the day, I ended up ordering the whole kit anyway. I just figured I'd probably end up wanting to add the bumpers eventually, so decided to do everything at once.

If youre going to install any part from the kit , I would recommend the front bumper. It has the most dramatic effect and will blend in with the rest of thebody trim.

Jordon23Junkee,
When you got the front only did you have to buy all of the individual pieces? I was told it is cheaper to buy the complete kit than the front and all of the required hardware.
