Aero skirts vs 2010 skirts

I need some opinions because it's really hard for me to see the difference in all the skirts. We don't even have a Mitsu dealer in town anymore because we sold the franchise and then they shut down. I was looking at a 2010 GG because it seems like a smoking deal (GG being one of two colors I want), but it doesn't have aero, which is okay because I can add it on myself after. I know the 2010 skirts are bigger than the 2008's but not as big as the aero. What I'm wondering is how big of a difference is between the three and if there's a big enough difference it would look goofy to not put the skirts on the 2010, I know some people say the aero skirts are a little big and am wondering if the newer style is a happy median or not. It would def help considering they are the most expensive pieces to the kit. I was also thinking maybe a different lip, but not too sure on that one yet. At any rate, I want something a little more aggresive. All opinions welcome, let's hear it.

Just stick with the 2010 skirts and spend your money elsewhere. They stick out much farther than the 08 skirts & protect the rear door area from rock chips just like the aero skirts.

The 2008 stock skirts are non existent. The stock 2010 skirts are actually pretty nice and come out almost as far as the aero skirts. I have the 2008 Aero kit on my GSR and love it! The Aero skirts may look a little bulky to some, but when you put wider more agrresive wheels and tires on, it's damn sexy But if you get a 2010 model just stick with the stock skirts and spend your money on power and suspension mods. Aero mods should be last on the list IMO

I will probably stick with the 10 skirts if I end up getting it until later if at all. Thanks guys for the input.
