Factory aero kit for JCW kit question

Here's the deal... I bought my 2010 JCW a month ago and it has the factory aero kit. At first I tought it looked cool but I'm not sure it really does!? Anyone ever tried switching the front bumper for the JCW aero one??? Would it look out off place? I kind of like the rear end of the factory aero, makes me think off an updated version of the JCW rear end for the 2002-2006...

I've never seen it done, but it might look okay if you got the trim pieces painted body color to match.

CHKMINI on here (if he's still on this site) did it. Looks great. One of Crashton's pics from last year
...

The trim actually matches... odd lighting

Thank you Adam...(by the way, nice ride!!!) I guess I'll have to use my imagination for the side view...From what I see from the front angle, the JCW front bumper doesn't seem to be much lower than the factory aero bumper(and the rest of the kit)...witch whould make it look ridiculous

it really isnt much lower. then take into account the same distance it seems to step from sideskirt to rear bumper and I think it fits nicely
