Default what are your thoughts on using several different kits?

Hi,

I'm planning to get a body kit soon so I just want to get some opinion from you guy about using different kits on same car. There are many kits out there, and the side skirt of one kit may look better, but you like the front lip of this kit, and the rear of another.
So I just want to ask what you guys think about using say, Tom's front lip (2009), Wald side, and INGS rear. Out of all the front lips for 09, I think Tom's look the best, and Wald looks the best for side skirts because they're pretty much the only one with any sort of detail, and INGS rear looks best in my opinion because I like the black diffuser look if I get it painted like Boshi's from his thread:

I know it may sound stupid, but i thought it MIGHT look nice. I welcome all opinions so don't worry if you don't have anything positive to say, just hold back on the insults.

Thanks,
Matt

you have a white car, you have to be very careful how you mix n match because you can see everything...

Mix and matching can be great, but you have to be careful it all flows well. JavyLSU did a great job - Five Axis front, Vertex sides, molded INGS rear. Perfect flow IMO.

haha yeah, but don't like how the exhaust opening is designed for quad. I already ordered an hks hi-power. So the INGS rear would fit perfectly.

get the 06-08 Tom's rear if you don't like the exhaust opening of the 09.
