the second pic would look a little better if it is paint matched and looks like it is a tad bit longer from the front.

For some reason the body kit sides look better, paint needs to be fixed. if you go with the EK they NEED to be painted.

if you keep those side skirts then i think you would need to paint your mirrors and front lip that way it looked proportioned

if you dont plan on doing any of that, then keep the oem side skirts on there and call it good

i have the same skirts on my car but my front lip is just as low as the skirts and the rear lip is nearly as low so it look uniform, not to mention they are all painted the same color (mirrors too but i dont think that makes a huge difference at all)
