Look Ma! No lip!

Well, after the unfortunate meeting of the front of my car with a stupid cement parking curb thingie, I had to take off the front lip.

So, here's a couple of pics, I'd like to know your thoughts on whether it looks weird with just the side skirts on, or you think I should keep them

Excuse the bad quality of the pics, this was taken in pretty low light...

1st Pic a little strange, but the 2nd one looks good. I can't decide.

Well based on the picture it looks ok to leave on the skirt, but could we get a picture from the side of the car. I'd like to see if there's a lot of height difference from where the front lip use to be.

That looks pretty sick man. I wish the US Yaris came with side skirts or something to do with the body other than factory option spoiler.

Front lips would fit on USDM bumpers no problem

But, the lip is in two pieces down the middle now, and pretty badly scratched up. I'm sure a decent fiberglass workshop would be able to put in back into shape, I could just go that route, but I think I'll be getting a JDM RS front bumper...

Weird is an understatement. It would look reeeeee-tarded.

Kaminari lip kit is 700 bucks don't forget.

keep the skirts on,

that will make you order the JDM RS bumper faster :)

BTW, DAMD with the JDM RS bumper will look just fuckin PIMP
I really like the setup

As you do that, think about something for the rear bumper and ur car will be the best (well, it is now :), but it will be million thousand better)

Cool Go a new bumper!

Well, good enough excuse to go for a full bumper I'd say! I like the JDM RS rear bumper, but none of the OE front bumpers really do it for me

I'm really starting to dig this C-One front bumper , but there's masses of options..
