Default Changing Front Lip Only?

Just wondering if it would look ok to just change the front lip. I made a stupid move and scrapped up my front lip pretty bad. Taking this opportunity to get a new lip but was worried if this would look funny. Has anyone else here change the front lip only without changing the sides or back bumper? Any pics? Thanks!

Just look at a pic of a xpac car, it only has the front GFX lip and not the rest.

Just a heads up to the OP, mods like this are contagious - spreads like a cancer. For me, 1st it was the OEM spoiler, then the X pkg front air dam, now the roof wing. Next thing you know I'll be throwin' down on 19" rims/tires. Just when you think you're done, the IS keeps sucking you back in. . .

ditto, i dont really see the difference in the side skirts at all, n the rear isnt a big enough difference for me to justfy all the work that'd go into installing it and the price

the cf lip need to be on a darker colored car, IMO, not my style. i like the Lexus Front lip that come with the X Package! If you go with that lip you dont actually need side skirts or the rear piece because it still flows with beauty of the car! that's what i plan on adding to mine!
