Opinions wanted - side aero flares paired with splash guards

I apologize in advance if there's already been a thread on this (I did a search and didn't find one) - I already have front and rear splash guards installed on my titanium gray 8 and I like them a lot. Besides being functional they add some aggressiveness to the car's stance. I've got strakes and the rotary package installed, too. Basically I'm getting things added little by little. I think a spoiler will be in the near future. But my real question is: How do you think the side aero flares would look coupled with the splash guards, WITHOUT the front and rear appearance package? Weird and unbalanced, or aggressive and personalized? I didn't think I wanted the appearance package at first, but the side flares have grown on me a lot; I don't want the front air dam, though. Thoughts? Thanks!

If you get the side Aero flares, the back rear splash guard has to go.. it wouldn't look right.

Agreed. I just finished installing the appearance package this weekend, and I have to say, it DOES look weird when just the sideskirts are on. I installed them first. Looks way unbalanced. Sorry.

......although, the front air dam doesn't have much bearing on the looks of the side skirts. You could go with the side & rear aero flares and still look ok in my opinion.

I think it would make the front and rear look unbalanced

it would look unique though
