Default Nismo V2 bumper - matching side skirts?

I really like the nismo v2 front bumper but I am not a fan of the nismo side skirts...anyone have a nismo v2 bumper with different side skirts? If so, please post pics!! I was thinking of the Ings n-spec.

Haha, they kinda grow on me for a bit but I still think there's a better sideskirt to match with the front bumper. Any thoughts?

Amuse, Ings N-spec or veilside V1 sides might work.

...greddy sides? how does that match the v2? i agree with the amuse and ings. Vertex is basically the same as ings. I prefer the amuse look.

friend of mine has ings sides with nismo v2 front, and he said he has to drive really careful to avoid speed bumps so that they don't scrape. amuse looks just as good to me, but not as low.

The amuse sides and rear will look good with the v2. Do it before someone else does

I'd say stay with Nismo sides. I didn't like them before, but they grew on me. IMO, Nismo is the only side skirt that match well with the V2 front, nothing else.

Indeed the Nismo sides look good but considering the high volume of nismo kits out there it is hard to stand out of the crowd. I think Sick Z wants to try something different and not follow the crowd. I would recommend Nismo V2 front with Amuse sides and rear. Just my .02

i can see why he says they don't match well. They are rounded and almost bubbly. the V2 front has an edge on the lip, vs the nismo sides which don't have an edge at all. The amuse, ings, and vertex do.

don't get me wrong, i like the nismo sides, but i can see his point about wanting a more continuous look.
