Default 92-95 Factory lip on 97+ front?

I've been searching this for days and haven't found a straight forward answer or more than one picture. Does the factory lip fit on 97+ bumper? Is it just a matter of drilling and bolting or is there more involved. If anyone has any other pictures of it and could post them I'd REALLY appreciate it. I'm yet another member on a quest to find the perfect lip kit that doesn't cost as much as the AC. Thanks!

the lip will not be long enough, it will be a few inches short on each end.

Well, I'm stuck between the Wald kit (which I'm getting mixed reviews on) or just screwing the lip idea and getting the JIC Magic kit. I REALLY want a lip, but still very indecisive. The sides and rear of the Vertex bow out too much for my taste. Great for that D1 look though.

i meant the vertex lip, which is extremely expensive ($600) for about 4 foot long fiberglass.

I meant the Vertex lip too. Aren't the sides and rear for the kits the same? The only difference being a front lip and front bumper? I could be wrong...I am new afterall.

Hmm..seeing as only one person has done it makes me assume it's not worth it. Moving on...

You get what you pay for. Personally, I'd shoot myself before buying an Erebuni kit. SC's are such quality cars, why not spend the extra money and buy quality Japanese parts for it. It only makes sense!
