Aftermarket Bumper

I am just wondering for those of you who have an aftermarket bumper, how does the bumper look when it's installed and the rest of the OZ lip kit is kept the same? I was looking at some member's rides and the lines don't seem to match up exactly. Let me know what your opinions are.

I keep reading this and not understanding what you are trying to say. Putting the OZ kit on the body kit pieces? Sorry I am just confused bro.

I've seen the kaminari front bumper with the rest stock...it looked really nice IMO. I was planning on doing the same thing if i can't afford all of it.

well most aftermarket bumpers go lower then the stock bumper and they are made with matching side skirts and a rear bumper....so it would look weird or look unfinished if u keep the OZ lips.

That's the idea I was trying to get across, sorry for the confusion. An aftermarket bumper on a Lancer OZ. I might be getting the Ken Style front bumper, but I saw someone had one on their car with the remaining OZ kit, and it had a weird look to it. Just wondering what everyone else's opinion was.

QuickSilver_OZ has the bumper I want to get, with the OZ skirt, but his picture is a little small.

I can't afford the whole kit because I just had to drop $410 on new tires. So it's either Ken style front bumper, or I'm buying your stock bumper . Unless I can find a black one from someone.

Well, QuickSilver_OZ is going to get me pictures of his car as soon as he can. So, since azyan says the bumper is too low, how would going front bumper, side skirts, and stock OZ rear bumper look? Would it still look out of place?

The rear bumper would still be a little higher than the front. The Kaminari front bumper looks good with the OZ kit, you might want to check that one out. I know at least one guy out there has that setup.

I thought about that one, but the Kaminari bumper is so expensive. Besides the group buy that just ended for the kit, there's no place/person that will sell it for under $450.
