Should I modify my bodykit?

I'm getting ready to install a ksport style body kit with evo 9 back bumper from accolade. I am thinking i could possibly change it up a bit. something like this.
(quick photoshop) I don't know who's car this is but the picture was GREAT! Sorry if you hate what i did

Any thoughts? Is it do-able? I have some fiberglass exp. can almost say i have skils.

yeh. I think it would be a great idea. The gap is small enouph where You could fill it fairly easily. also, that is thw weakest point in the kit so beefing that up will help the strength. I dunno if you could just use mat to cover the gap and then glass it or what. Ive only patched fiberglass (my ken style bumper) but never did anything like that. As for the sideskirt.. I would leave the air duct. I personally like the look of it. Plus, its kinda functional.

I say "go for it!"

Good choice on the kit. that front with the evo rear will look sick!

Well actually my bumper is too much of a piece of **** for me to even give away to an enemy. I may take a hammer to it when I get a real front end on there. Dont worry, I'll take pics. lol
