Sorry not keen, having seen SE skirts with an IS lip, I'd have to vote for those.

Thanks for the replies so far.
I understand that the SE skirts go with the IS spoiler. But i don't want my car to look exactly the same as everyone elses.
I could just follow the masses and put SE skirts on it, but im not going to.
break the mould!

The skirts arent bad at all, but the rear needs something now.

That's more like it, your first one just doesn't suit it... unless you make big changes to the rest too...

I think they don't look too bad. Colour code the existing rear apron and the top & bottom parts of your bumpers, and it'll look okay.

Yeah, they look pretty good
The bumpers do need colour coding, but leave the black rubbing strips as they are (like my touring in my sig) or it will look too much I reckon.
