RK sport cobalt front bumper

searched around the forum for pictures of it and its deff one of the nicest aftermarket bumpers for the cobalt IMO....

So anyway im looking into buying it for my base cobalt the only thing im stuck on with buying it is that i would only be able to buy and paint the front bumper as of right now(poor college student) and it would prob take a while before i could afford the side skirts and rear valence.... Will it still looks fine you think, or bad with the front bumper hanging lower then the sides?

Any input is appreciated thanks

if youre gonna do a bodykit wait until you can afford the whole thing, and get it painted and put on correctly.

Several people have upgraded the front bumper on their base models without doing the sides or rear... I think it looks okay if it's a temporary sort of thing, as long as you're planning to do it down the road. I'm not a fan of it when I see a new front and no sides or rear, but then chrome 18's, a high rise, and a bunch of other **** - if you know what I'm getting it.

All up to you.

ya im starting to feel that way i dont like looking at things when they are half done.. Im starting to sway towards not gettting it since im already lowered and bottom out to begin with and a body kit deff wont help.. i think i might just end up upgrading my suspension with some fe5 struts upfront and some koni shocks in the back

it also depends ok how low the bumper goes. I've seem alot of member have their ss/sc front lip w/o the rear and it looks good. But if too low , won't look right

im pretty sure its sit as slow as a SS/SC with lip, thats why im on the fence as far as deciding what im going to do

take for example the turbo sedan ss. It looks good with lip only. Now the rk sport has a totally diff look to it, I'm talking about the whole bumper. So I don't think it would look right
