looks like a '97 with some sort of kit on it. Anybody got a pic of the Wise Sports lip? In any case it looks like a part of an aftermarket kit...but it does greatly resemble the stock '92 lip. I'd like to know for sure what that is also...I might want one! But why would someone do that? I mean it's not as offensive as I would have thought but still...why?

that pic is for an aftermarket front lip.

there IS an aftermarket lip for 97+ bumper. Only a handful of people on this board could bring them in, AND not many people on this board is willing to pay for it.

Reminds me of the vertex front lip. I could be wrong. Too big for me though, Id snap that thing in half by the end of the day.

for a real JDM lip, at LEAST $600USD. If it's an aftermarket JDM lip, then maybe $400 USD. Haven't asked my brother recently.

I dont think its the B&N, it looks different. The upper part of the lip goes into the grill, whereas the other lip doesnt. The B&N juts out, while the other lip goes straight down (more noticable on the sides of the lip).

Then again, ive never seen either in person so those pics could be fooling me.

Another pic of the B&N lip (i love this car by the way)


Versus the pic above


Slight differences.
