Default Opinions on mustang with saleen front and rear bumpers without side skirts???

Hey, i just bought a saleen front bumper for my 87 lx, i like the look with just a front bumper on the regular lx, but the guy i bought it off of is offering me a real saleen rear bumper for $25 and its hard to resist. I feel a little edgy about putting both on the car without the side skirts, and i really dont want to go with the complete saleen look. Any input? or anyone with pics of an lx with saleen bumpers??

I like the Saleen look myself. Never sen one without the skirts, though. Not sure how it would look.

I don't think it would look right without the sideskirts.

How could any one ever compare a Honda to a Mustang is beyond me. I think it would help it look unlike every other Mustang out there.

cuz a lot of the honda owners who mod their hondas are cheap and they put only the bumpers and no side skirts, it just looks really dumb for the front and back to be lower than the middle
