Default Bad Idea? GFX front + Vertex sides + JP Vizage rear

Bad Idea? GFX front + Vertex sides + JP Vizage rear

I already have the GFX front because it's my favorite
recently have falling in love with the JP Vizage rear
and i think Vertex has the cleanest / best looking side skirts

issue could be parts not lining up right, recently lowered my car and its slightly raked (front being lower then rear) so i think the the lining up part might be close to be perfect with gfx and vertex sides, just not sure how sides and rear will flow together

bad idea? or good idea? any thoughts? anyone ever see this mixup? anyone got pics?

1st pic jp vizage rear in case some havent seen it
2nd pic vertex sides
3rd gfx in case some havent seen

Ive never seen that setup before but normally mixing different parts of different kits together doesnt flow

i don't think so at all...too much confusion and different height levels on each piece

look at the vertex sides, it doesnt even line up with the vertex front lip. it really SEEMS like gfx front & vertex will line up fine or better than the vertex sides/front
i duno it seems like even the rear would line up close to perfect w/ jp vizage rear
the only issue i see here is vertex sides being too clean/simple looking vs jp vizage got too much design and thats what might throw off the look

bcz its hardly a upgrade to the oem skirts. plus i want the jp vizage rear, which i dont think gfx sides would come close to lining up with.

jp rear too aggressive for the gfx front
vertex sides hang lower than gfx front

I had the vertex sides and they hung too low even for the Fsport front lips. It wouldn't look good with the GFX front. I would look into Toms sides, they are like vertex but hang a little higher.

5-axis front + vertex sides is what Javy used to have. He rounded it out with an INGS rear, so that worked nicely.

GFX front and JP Vizage by itself would be good, Tom's sides like someone else mentioned would be good in between if it looked blank.

Tom's sides and rear with GFX front would look nice. If you want to stick with the JP Vizage rear, I'd imagine the 5-axis front with vertex or tom's sides would be pretty slick.

Do you still have the sides?
I'm liking the vertex sides better than the tom's because if its looking hangs lower and should flush with the front and rear kit i have on but vertex soooo expensive...
