Default Vertex front bumper with stock sides

Anyone have a picture of this ? Would the lines flow evenly or will the front bumper hang to low ? Pix please..!

I think the front will hang low, its a pretty big agressive kit and the Vertex side skirts looks pretty tall, so im assuming the front would be too, to line up with its side skirt, check out our gallery and see for yourself

Oh forgot, it wouldn't flow with our stock side skirts, our side skirt has a little contour to it and the Vertex kit is straight and forward with hard lines

I agree with Vborder, it wont look right with stock sides because of the aggressiveness of the bumper and how low it sits

Agreed, front will hang too low for the oem skirts.

I wish there was a different rear bumper that would flow with this kit. The whole kit is nice but the rear seems to be a bit much as you would barely be able to see the exhaust tips from a side profile. The exhaust tips seems to get "lost" in that bumper.
