If I bought only the front kit and not the sideskirt and bumper, would this look funny on my car?

It matters which kit you want, post which kit your looking for.

Well what you really want to look for in a body kit on a car is that all the parts like side skirts front end and back end all run into each other nicely. Forinstance, if you have a front end whice is lower than your stock side skitrs or rear end or even if they are not stock it would not look as nice because it does nto run into each other they would all be unever like one being lower and the other higher then lower again. It would give the blocky and not so normal looking.

go to erebuni.net and check out the nissan ground effect for 1989 Nissan 240SX the kit is called the "shogun 601. Tell me if that will look good on my ride, but just the front kit.

What do you think of the 89/90 S13s with the front spoiler?  My car has one and I always thought it looks kinda funny being lower than the rest of the car.  But apparently Nissan and a lot of other people don't agree, so it's probably just a personal preference thing.  I think almost all body kits look better with just the front spoiler and side skirts and nothing on the back.  Makes the car look lighter somehow - when you run a ring of fiberglass around the entire body of the car it just makes it look big and awkward to me.

my240likenoother, your car is nice and yeah i never noticed that you only did have the front kit...How much did you get your front kit for...Can you just get the front kit, or do you have to buy the package deal?

That front kit is fairly goddy.  It would look good alone, but much better with the side skirt and especially a wing, IMHO.

But if you like it, go for it.
