Default Need opinions on potential side skirts

I'm looking for opinions on this. I am trying to figure out what side skirts would look good with my tommy kaira front bumper. What I have found so far is nismo usdm looking best.

here are pics of my car as is:





And here is my photoshop attempt with Nismo USDM sides



cwest:


greddy:


Nismo JDM:


Ings +1/Vetex/Stillen Series 2 (since they are all similar):


If you can think of other sides and want to suggest them then please do! Or feel free to photoshop some others on there.

haha good luck getting opinions...I like that front end, I'm not a big fan of that side skirt setup tho. I think the Tommy Kaira side skirts are hella nice especially with that front end.

IMO, nismo side skirts doesn't look right on your car..I'd suggest smoother, flat ones like C-west. That it would look hot!!

the only problem with that is they are impossible to find... the guy that i bought the bumper from has them, but doesn't want to unscrew them because then there will be open holes in his side skirts, and he doesn't want to have to ship the entire side skirt... so i will keep looking but yes, that would be my first option if it were available.

How about the Veilside V1 sides. Those may look good with the TK bumper.

I think I'd go with Ings +1/Vetex/Stillen Series 2 if yuo can't get those side skirts.

If I cant find one I will get Nismo V2.
Thanks

No one in the US carries them, there are only 10 I have heard in the whole country. I bought mine used from a member from California. They come up for sale about once a year I guess people get rid of them. You can still get them in Japan, but good luck getting it back here.

GReddy look awesome, nice smooth flow through visually from the front, not fighting for attention, just a great flow. IMO GReddy are the only skirts you have shown us that look like they belong with the front.

The difference between JDM and USDM are much different! JDM looks
good..
but after seeing GReddy side skirts, I think this one is keeper!
