As others have stated a number of members have just the front bumper...it looks good...but eventually you will get the side skirts...as most of those members referred to earlier do as well (*cough, mrfva 
)
Why prolong the inevitable, get the side skirts...

I'm gonna assume were talking about the MTech front bumper here? If so, I think it would be fine if you just got the front, but it will look even better if you had the matching sides.
If you say you're getting something like the Lumma bumper or even the M5 replica bumper, then you DEFINITELY NEED the sideskirts.
