Default Side Skirts Without Front Splitter (Pic request)

Is anyone here running side skirts without a front splitter? If so, could you post up a few pics. Contemplating adding just side skirts but not sure what it would look like without the lower splitter in the front too.

It reeeeally makes the car look unbalanced. The side rockers are already lower to the ground than the front bumper. Adding side skirts just worsens the look. The opposite is a much better choice---adding a front lip with no side skirts. That evens out the height difference a little.

I am, accidentally because I broke my front splitter and haven't put the new one on yet. I hate it. Fortunately I have the new one and it's painted and ready to go on, otherwise I would be considering taking the side skirts off.

I have an unused APR carbon fiber splitter that I bought when I broke my Tiger Shark splitter. The contours of the TS ended up being too different for it to work. PM me if you're interested, I'll give you a killer price as it's just sitting in my garage. I was contemplating cutting it up to enhance the TS spoiler, but that will just end up making it that much lower.
