Side Skirt Recommendation

Hey guys, just installed the jp lip kit and was wondering what sides to get. I have a journey, well X-model, version of the car and my stock sides seem to be a bit lacking when I look at the car at certain angles.

Also, was browsing and saw a thread earlier where someone had the jp lip and aero/ipl sides but the side heights were a bit off.

Would a zele side skirts or just the regular sport ones make it pop? Should I get an autokits-x one?

any input would be appreciated and if you have any pics or Photoshops that would help it would be great.

I know that I can just purchase the sport sides and get the jp kit for the sides but I figured if I'm going to swap out the whole side why not see what other options there are.

Thanks

Here are a few pics of my car.

Are those a modified AK side skirts? seems like the pictures show a small black mesh towards the end of the sides. The pictures at the product website - not the one you posted.

Thanks for your help.

So what's wrong with the JP side skirt additions? They look aggresive and taper of lower in rear than a IPL. On a lowered G with a positive muscle car rake looks sick as hell! But you need to be real low for the JP kit to look sick. IMO the JP kit is the most aggressive hands down!

I think the JP sides are too subtle. Is it really lower than the IPL skirt?

+1 on the Autokit sideskirts...it matches well with the JP fronts.

Nothing wrong with them, they're just barely noticeable

When my friend installed the JP fronts and sides and showed under my building I asked him: "Why didn't you install the sides yet?" Because I was expecting to see some sides

Well on a black G like mine its not that noticeable, I agree though it not as noticeable as an entire side piece, yes subtle but looks good, but the sides in pic posted match good I agree after looking at it a bit.

I prefer IPL sides , I just installed mine with Stillen front spoiler , they really did the job!
I always liked the black , and I think it will look amazing with JP front .
