why not wait until you can afford the whole thing at once, probably get it cheaper too!

This kid's has the front only, i really like the car but i think it would look worlds better if he finished the kit...

thanks blue rocket! I didn't realize that guy didn't have the Side HFP body kit.

I've seen his car many times in pictures and I always liked the fact that it didn't have the back body kit.

I've got the front only. The front end is very soft looking without the lip IMO.
Front only > nothing
I'd like to get the rest of the kit eventually but it's a low priority since the price from Honda is rape.

Having only the front on looks bad to me makes no sense at least if the owner has the intention of putting the rest of the kit on. With the hfp bumper it helps it flow with the front better, and with the side skirts it brings both together would you put the bumper on with no front lip it looks retarded with just the front on !

i think the HFP Front without the rest of the kit looks good. personally, i'm waiting until someone comes out with a nice carbon fiber front lip for the SI.

hmm I guess I can't tell that there is a lip that's different from our stock lip on those pics....

-- I actually can, but isn't that lip part PART of the HFP front body kit?

I have it on mine and I like it. I will probably get the rest later when I can afford it but it looks way better with just the front lip compared to nothing. Thats why I have just the front on for now. Sometimes I think it looks awkward from 45 degree angle from the front but I think it looks good from the side. If you didn't notice ill rollers you obviously don't think it would look awkward so I say go for it

I wanna get either the front or the back next but probably only one at a time. Any suggestions on which one would look better with the front? Cause I think it would look weird the back and front and nothing on the sides...but then would it look weird with front, sides and no rear? I can't decide? Thanks for any input.

i would say go with the sides next. I kinda dont' like not having the back.

I don't like how the back looks like a skirt that sorta bows out. a mini skirt

i'd be all for that if they would fit/allow the OEM fogs, but none do that, so I stick to lip kits lol

Yeah, I picked up just the front lip because I'm not really a fan of the hfp sides and rear. I wanted to wait until something clean and different came out, but I picked up the hfp lip to hold me over, since god knows when someone will make some decent looking body parts for the car.

IMO just the front looks great, but its a little subtle for my taste.
