front and rear lip with no sides, yay or nay? read b4 u judge Options

[Valo666]

so..after i come back from my trip to france, im gonna have some $ to play around with..so i figure i would dress up the celi a bit. So im thinkin of gettin some pre-facelift splitters and this gangs jail rear lip..minus the plate relocation


splitters

now..i posted a topic about this rear lip b4 and pretty much every one said "Its hard to make a car look good without side skirts when you have lips." My arguement for this is, has any one actually seen the semetrics of our car stock??




From the rear bumper to where the stock rockers lay, its about 2 inches higher. same with the front..the front bumper is about an inch n a half or more higher up than the oem rockers. The reason i wanna get my splitters and rear lip is to even out this gap..bring the body line straighter/ let it flow more. By adding side skirts, you increase that offset more..hense why im sayin no skirts.

Any one see my point? now would you still say "get sides" ?? or do you see where im coming from.

Nader and i had about a half hour conversasion about this and the body styling of the car last night after the toyota nation meet.

i understand what your trying to say. but itll still look funny without side skirts. the splitters make the sides come down lower. they dont sit flush to the stock look like you think they do. im tired and not typing right. but this my drawing, is how itll look

with splitters on front and lip on back

okay. bad drwawing but maybe youll get the point

now in stock yes , the rear bumper + front bumper are at a angle towards the sides like this
front \ __sides__ /back

but the splitter and lip will just make the angle even bigger and it will pass where it normally goes. like . hmm
the angle will be longer on the front and rear making a gap between the front and back bumper where the side skirts should be.
basically what im trying to say through all this nonsense is that the lip and splitters will not even out that angle itll just elongate and make the sides look funny..







soo if you understood anyof that maybe youll understand why poeple say u need side skirts when u put a front and rear lip on your car.





(sorry im really tired. haha)
