Default Hyrbid front bumper with OEM sides??

Not sure if picture request threads are legal in the EM2 forum, but I'll try anyway, since I need replys asap.
Anyone have any pictures of a Hybrid front bumper on a 01-03 coupe with OEM side skirts? I need to see how it looks because I might be getting a Hybrid bumper from the shop instead of a regular one, just to do something different
Here's the only ones I have, of varner88's old car

I would almost say that the front lip that the Civics in the Philippines has, would work. But, to be honest, that front grille is hideous. I would see if you could cut it out, and plastic weld your old bumper's grille in.

I don't think all thats worth it though. I think I'll just go with the regular front bumper. I love the "PDM" one, but i don't think i would be able to get a hold of one any time soon.

I think I might get it.. and make sure they dont drill a licence plate bracked into it.
The main reason I like it. I hate the big square on the regular bumpers, and i dont want to cut it up just so i can have the plate a couple inches to the side.

Hmm, what if you painted the grille on it black? I think it may look better with it blacked out.
