Default Nismo Side skirts, which rear works with it?

Hello, I rently found a good deal on a pair of painted side skirts for a 350Z. I will have to get them painted to match my car but I want to know what other rear bumpers would work good with these side skirts? I am not a big fan of those add ond diffusers from Nismo. I don't want to buy these skirts if there isn't really anything that matches up good either. So. please any suggestions and/or pics is much appreciated. I don't know how long these will be available to me.
thanks!!!

I like it a lot~! Like stated above Where can I get those mud guards and how much? Looks so much better than the NISMO ones. I am also curious which front lip you went w/ and post a pic if you can on the front.

Thanks for the compliment. The front bumper is OEM with a Veilside version 1 lip molded in and the emblem shaved.

Do you know where I can get those mudguards? Never heard of them before. Like that front lip, as well as that nice shiny intercooler!!!

Hey Ninja-Z, that looks pretty sweet. You have any directly behind your car pics? Also, anyone know a good place to get NISMO body parts?

I like the clean look of the lips when they are molded in like that.

You can get US Nismo or JDM from Performance Nissan.

Here is a view from the rear that illustrates Ninja's point about the rear appearing up in the air without some additional body work or a kit. I am considering a full rear bumper cover (Vertex or INGS/Initial-D)...but I'm tired of the car being in the shop all the time and just want to enoy it as is for a while.

As far as getting the Nismo Stuff look around you can find someone that is a lot more reasonable than Performance Nissan, since I saw the thread where they were trying to sell the 140 MSRP Varis ducts for 200 bucks, dont know if I would trust them or not.

Thanks much...those are HRE 845R's...9x18F +22 and 10.5x18R +23 with Toyo Proxes 265/35 - 295/35 rubber.

Performance will usually match another vendors price...but I haven't dealt with them for some time.

Very clean looking Z btw...you have a good eye behind the lens.
