Rear Skirt Suggestions Plz
Last year I put on a Veilside V1 front lip and GReddy sides, and now I am looking to finish the thing off with a rear skirt but I am having trouble coming up with anything that works. The ones I keep coming back to are Nismo, Ings LX or JP (type A I think, with the little mesh parts on each side). Here are some pictures of the car as it is now, maybe you guys can make some suggestions. I also have the Fujitsubo exhaust which has a pretty large rear muffler hanging down, the rear skirt should balance that out a bit.
Photoshoppers are welcome too. I will upload some pictures of the rear of the car when I get home tonight, but this is all I have available at work:
Here is the car from the front, so you can try to picture what might flow with it as you go to the back:

If not I would just stick with the nismo rears

I have genuine Veilside V1 rear lip with my Greddy sides. I am thinking of changing up the look a bit this spring when car emerges from storage. So even though V1 isn't on your list, if you are interested, PM me or watch the FS section next month. That lip is a nice subtle change for the rear that relatively, costs next to nothing to paint and install.
EDIT: I see that your Greddy sides have the FG "waves" as well. I have no idea why Greddy did that but it annoys the hell out of me as they stick out like a sore thumb when compared to the smooth-as-glass sheet metal of the car. I will have my body shop smooth out and repaint mine when I go to get my new front and rear painted.

So it wont fit only the quad or something...

Off topic, but how is the fit of your passenger side skirt at the top corner where it meets the door jam? Mine sticks out a bit and I can't figure out how to get it to sit flush with the side of the car / door. I can't tell from the angle of your picture whether you have the same issue.

Have you thought about the greddy rear skirt? I don't know, but it seems to go with the greddy sides in my opinion. I personally like the nismo rear pieces, but sometimes i think about it, and it's 400 dollars for two little pieces slapped onto the rear. If you wan to spend a bit more, you can always try the ings n-spec rear.
Like others have said, the nismo rears are always a safe bet, but i don't think they flow too well with the greddy sides.
The Elia rear skirt looks really nice, anyone know where to get this?

Does ings have an n-spec rear skirt, or just full bumper?

^^^Elia rear skirt at advancedracetechnology.net. PM Paulgt2 one of the vendors on this site. He's finalizing the order to order parts from Germany.
The rear skirt is also made of polyurethane
