Default Sideskirts with Vertex Front Bumper?

I recently purchased a vertex front bumper and love the way it looks but it hangs lower than stock. So now the car looks funny because the front is lower then the rest of the car.
So can anyone tell me which side skirts and rear bumper hang roughly two inches lower than stock? The vertex side look very plain IMO and the rear bumper doesn't appeal to me at all which is why I onlybought the front. Thanks for any and all help

The same ones that wobble to and fro.

Is that final fitment of the front bumper? It looks like youve got it painted. If so, you should get it fixed. It is off.

Amuse is lower than stock, but might not look good with that front.

Edit: A rear diffuser might be something to consider if you are looking at adding inches to the rear. Are you looking for a replacement rear bumper?

Its not painted yet (sorry for the crappy phone pic) and no its not the final fitment. Just threw it on to see if it fits.
Any yes I was looking for a replacement rear bumper. I was thinking the Ings or the Chargespeed. Any idea if they are as low as the vertex rear?

I thought about a diffuser. It would line up to the front nicely but I have nothing black on the front of the car that would match the rear diffuser. I'd have to add a front splitter but then the car would b too low.

Well,you sure are doing things the hard way.Would have been alot easier to figure out what matched/lined up before you started buying body parts.In addition,what pieces have the best fitment.Check the SHINE website.I believe there are some components
that would match up to your front bumper.I definetly would go with a rear diffuser.
