anyone with an Ipl front bumper and stock everything else?

First off, yes ive searched the numerous other threads but due to their age all of them have dead photo links except for maybe one picture i found which is why im making a new thread

i have a journey with the 18" wheels, stock everything. was wondering what it would look like with just the front bumper, no side skirts, stock height etc and can post some pics

also mention if youve got the x as i've heard the x rides higher than the journey and sport

I don't have that many pics of only the front bumper with no sideskirts. pics below are with just the bumper and eibach springs. I have a journey. i know it's mismatched colors and makes it harder to see as a whole but it's all i got lol I only had it like this for like a week.

thanks for helping out. doesn't look too bad. were you able to tell if the ipl sat higher than the stock journey bumper once you installed it or was it the same height as the journey bumper? did the lines match up well with the stock side skirts? i dont wanna have the bumper being lower or higher than the sides
are those wheels 18 btw?

I have a journey but i had the sport bumper when i installed the ipl bumper. I don't remember about the side skirts but you definitely want to upgrade them to the ipl side skirts because it won't look right.

yeah but i can't really tell if its just the angle of the stock sides pic that makes it look worse. i know it wont look to good but do you remember if the sides lined up with the bumper? was the bumper sitting higher or lower than the sides?

IPL front with the base sides will look wired due to the IPL front has more visual mass than the base front. it will look super wired.
