Unhappy TOM'S, Vertex or WALD side spolier?

I have installed TOM'S Rear and Front Wald body Kit. I want to install the side, but I don't know what the hell to install lol...

I like all of them and I'm confused, so guys tell me what you think??


TOM'S Side:


Vertex Side:


WALD Side:



Reasons of confusion is: TOM'S are Vertex and too simple and they look good. For WALD it's becomes wide at the back of the side as you can see which will not match with TOM'S rear!

WHAT TO INSTALL?

If you are going for side skirts to go with your Tom's rear lip, then go with Tom's. But if you were getting a full kit, then go with Vertex.

it depends what look you are going for

you picked one of the most aggressive and sportiest Front Lip
but
you picked one of the most conservative rear lip

if you are going for aggressive look, then go with Wald sides
if you want subtle look, go with Toms

I wouldn't mix with vertex,,too many different kits in one car

I'm not changing the body kit.. I'm talking about installing Sides only. You are right TOM'S will go well with the rear, but honestly I don't like the rest of TOM'S body kit. Specially, the sides looks like STOCK!

Ya, you are right! It's not really good to go with different kits. I think vertex is okay cause it's similar to TOM'S I don't think it's that big deal to compare both.

Go with the wald sides so it can flow with the front wald spolier. IMO..
