Default '04 front lip spoiler without rear spoiler: stable?

if i get an '04 with the front lip spoiler accessory, would it be
unstable at higher speeds if i don't get the rear spoiler to match? would the front be held down but the back not?
i like the looks of the front spoiler, but i don't care for the back spoiler (and it's cheaper just getting one).

anyone out there with an authoritative position? i know part of this is for looks, but i'd also like to be sure that high speed stability is not compromised. who would know the answer?

I don't think that either piece offers enough downforce to notice. I've seen a number of s2k's that have either one or the other but not both, never heard a complaint.

Anything you add will affect the car to some point. I don't think just adding a front lip is a big deal, without the rear spoiler, even at high speeds. The '00-'03 rear spoiler will fit an '04.

I'm not in an authoritative position so don't take my word for it, but I would think that if leaving off an accessory here or their would cause so much instability that you would loose control of the car. Lawsuits anyone? I don't think so.
