how necessary is a full body kit vs. just the front?
would the car look stupid with just a new front end and the rest left stock but the lowers painted? It seems like there's little change with most body kits on the sides and back.

usually the front ends up lower than the sides so it looks weird.
All the side skirts make the side of the car go straight down, rather than curve under like they do stock. kind of squares the car off more and makes the sides look lower to match the new front bumper.

Depends on the kit. Could probably get away with a front lip, a la reiger or sportec. If you go
with something more extreme, like an oettinger front bumper, it would probably look off.

A Body kit is designed for the entire body of the car.
If you just place the front and not the rest it will break up the continuous lines and the design of the car making it look a bit off.
Even leaving the rear stock and having sideskirts and front doesnt look quite right to the trained eye.
IMHO if your going to get a body kit, do the full kit and not just parts of it.
