Default Five axis kit question

Im getting the five axis front and rear lip kit soon. I dont want the sides because i just think the look too beefy for the rest of the kit and i dont like how it sits lower than the front imo. Does anyone know what other sides would look good with the front and rear? I looked at the rs1 sides but i dont like the jagged edge kinda look. Something close to the five axis side just not at big.

trust me dude your going to want to stick with the side skirts..I have a five axis kit and for awhile I wanted to switch side skirts because the shop i went too totally messed it up..I was thinking maybe Kamanari but it just wouldnt look right. The five axis side skirt flows very well and currently I cant see any other side skirts that would match this kit. Five Axis themselves spent a lot of time and money to design this kit. There goal was to make an simple yet aggressive lip kit. You will not find another kit as clean as this one.

Do the full Five Axis kit. It looks fine and flows very good. I have the full Five Axis kit on and I love it and I have gotten nothing but good compliments on it.

Stick with the FIVEaxis sides, you won't be disappointed

and you have NOTHING to worry about H-techs. This is how I look on B&G Coils

i have the five axis kit too, and i too agree that the sides hang too low. i was thinking of putting the rs1 sides, but like most of these guys have mentioned, it will not flow with the rest of the kit. just put the whole kit on, and with time, you will get used to it.

I think it is the front lip that does not match with the rest of the kit. It is not as agressive as the rest of the kit...too thin.

True^^...it looks nice and discreet, maybe enough to have it alone, imo ...just curious, is there anyone rockin' just the front lip??....

telling you just keep the entire kit..lol try it first and believe me it will grow on you. Plus if someone asks you want kind of kit it is..you can say its a full Five Axis Kit..not oh its a Five Axis kit and some generic different brand side skirts.
