looks liek you got the OEM sides....... the kaminari front may be a little too aggressive for those side skirts.

I love the aero kit on my car and everyone says its the best one on a 7thgen but my car is silver and that kit looks out of place on a red car. if i was you and had the money i would buy the new bumber i think your car would look hot after thatbut thats my .02

I get a ton of compliments on the car and the kit. People think it looks aggressive and clean. Bbut i was just curious as to what it would look like

I think you should stay with the OEM Aero front. I don't care much for the Kaminari front, and it's definately not as clean as the rest of your car.

I dont think that the Kaminari bumper flows well with the lines of the car. There are too many "speed holes" and the little points that come to an end towards the middle of the lip look gay.
