New Front Bumper Idea...?

[Flash]

I need a new front bumper for my 2g. I either want the Buddy Club 2 or the Kombat front bumper. I really would like to get the Buddy Club 2 because it looks subtle. Same reason with the Kombat. Overall I think the Buddy Club 2 front looks better.
My question is, how would it look with my stock skirts and rear bumper? I know the Buddy Club 2 bumper hangs lower, but would it look weird with the stock skirts and what not?
BTW, if you feel like saying go with OEM, please don't. I want to show this car and I want to stand out a little bit more on the road. The reason I don't want to change the side skirts and rear bumper is because I've fallen in love with then, same with my front bumper, that's why I want the more subtle Buddy Club 2 bumper.
Thanks!

Combat would go great with stock sides and rear. BC2 is a little more unique, and doesn't follow the same stock curves and lines of the car, so I think it would look best with the entire kit.

i like the combat, but then again i like the BC2. i dont like the BC2 sidskirts or rear bumper though. the BC2 rear bumper hangs lower than the sidekirts. i was thinking about the blitz sides and rear with the BC2 front. but then again the oem bumpers and sides are sick

Isn't Buddy Club 2 having a sale on their kits? $500 a kit? I might just do that. And if they fit like OEM like BC2 says, then I should have no problem installing them with my friend. If I half to cut, and resize them, then I'll have a problem.
Also, I did a little measuring and the BC2 front only hangs about an inch lower then the OEM bumper.

the kit defenitely doesnt fit like OEM iknow that much...

the BC2 kit is meant to go with each piece, the whole kit was built to go together, it wont look good mixing and matching that kit

I think the bc2 will look good with stock skirts and back. There both good bumpers thou and either will look nice. No one ever seems to have the bc2. The eclipse is like a 300zx if you have to have a kit just run a front and keep the good sides and back. My 2 cents

I hear you all on the OEM bumpers. Last night when I couldn't sleep I was thinking about bumpers. I'm in love with my car the way it is. I'm in love with the OEM front bumper. I think a body kit would just screw it all up. Maybe I'll slap a lower lip on it.
I just wanted to go with a Kombat or BC2 front because mines all messed up and paints scratched. I want to show my car, but I just can't imagine building a show winner with stock trim. Is it possible? I haven't showed my car yet so it's all new to me. In the end it comes down to what I like, not what others like, but I really want to have a chance at these shows.
Thanks!

no i was referring to the backend of the sideskirts being shorter than the beginning of the rear bumper


---O---


the circle is the rear wheel the red is the rear bumper and the blue is the sideskirt. the sideskirts doesnt hang as low as the rear bumper so it looks ghey IMO

someone please post the pic of the sideview of the WHITE eclipse, not the green one with the unpainted kit.
