Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order.

Suggestion
Do what you want, but save stock parts (should you decide to change) you'll want them for resale.
Leading evidence: 'Replace ) you'll want them' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace ) you'll want them' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Having a deer bounce off the front of my car gives me the option of making some mods on my 2003 Seal Grey Cab - Pic below. Please share your thoughts on the following:
1. Considering mkII areo front bumper and side skirts. The online vendors (Suncoast and Pelican) mention the front should not be done without the back, and I don't want a wing. Should I sweat this much?
2. I have a sizable curb to go over to get in the driveway. How much lower than standard is the mkII bumper and skirts?
3. Any strong opinions about side skirts w/ the stock bumper? I have searched comments here and Renntech and cant decide...
4. Should I just have the car fixed to stock and save my pennies for a M030 ROW suspension upgrade?
Thanks!
Get rid of the pumpkins!!!
Side skirts look silly with the stock bumper.
I have the Mk1 bumper with a lip and it tends to drag on drives, etc. even with the stock suspension.
The biggest benefit would be from a new suspension, PSS9/10 is the best bet, but is twice as much as a M030 ROW which also comes with new sway bars.
Good Luck!!
1) based on how close you are to the curb in that picture - dont get the aero front bumper
2) I would say 2-3 inches
3) go with OEM
4) do you have US standard now? ROW is not on my list - like Ferd said PSS9, the ROW offers no tinkering, and for about the same price the PSS9 give a lot of adjustability. If you have time and want to see my car in person, I work in Canyon Park. You could look at what I did and it might help you descide... the combo of suspension and the front bumper lowers it quite a bit

I'm a sucker for an aero...
Front GT3, side skirts and no wing would look great on your cab, you can go without a rear wing, it's fine. If you do go all OEM from Sunset or suncoast, fwiw: when I did mine my local dealer matched suncoast prices for me.
IMO, side skirts are fine without the bumper.
I wouldn't sweat the rear wing, this has been debated here before.
ROW M030 is great. Once you do it, you will agree stock sucks.
Lastly, don't pay too much attention to others opinions on things aesthetic. Do what you want, but save stock parts (should you decide to change) you'll want them for resale.
I have the GT3 bumper with lip and PSS9's, lowered. When I had 18" wheels I rubbed and scraped all the time. You learn to take inclines at an angle and that's usually enough. When I switched to 19" the extra 1/2" clearance made all the difference and I almost never scrape.
Before I put the new bumper on I had just the side skirts and I thought it looked fine. Judge for yourself on the sig pic below that has never been updated.
This is the setup I believe that Dell has along with the MY02 lightweight wheels, and it really makes the MkI cab sharp IMO. I wish I had some pictures; maybe he can post some up.
