Default Are there any lip kits available for the 97+ sc?

As the title says, I am looking for an alternative to installing a fiberglass kit on my car. so i was contemplating installing a 97+ bumpers but wanted to know if there are any lip kits. Preferable uretane, tring to avoid fiberglass. Pics & prices would be great to post.

That Wald lip looks super clean/nice. The other one I've seen and liked is the Auto Couture I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong.

The Wald is fiberglass and scrapes on any dips.

It also doesn't fit for *****.

It's pretty tho.

I'd also like to know. It is one of the cleanest lip add-ons out there.

Whoever's car this is. Yum.

...


I Just looked up the price on their site and wow. A little bit over $2k US dollars when converted from Japanese Yen. wow. For a lip kit?

autocouture is not a lip kit, it is a full front bumper replacement..thus not making a lip kit?

if you wanna get the auto couture kit, get ready to spend 2400+

you're better of getting the 97+ body conversion and adding a vertex lip, it'll look very very similar since IMO the auto couture kit is just a refined 97+ body

Ah, thanks for the clarification. I hope you're 100% sure becuase on the AutoCouture site, it states you get a "front spoiler", and that sounds like a "lip" but if you say it's the whole bumper, that's a decent deal because I was going to do the 97 conversion for the $2k it costs anyways. Anyone know of a USA supplier excluding going directly through them? It seems it's kind of hard to get, but there are quite a few SC's with the kit on.

A couple of members may be able to help you out. ACleanSC4 (Tony) or AutoCoutureSC (Lee) may be able to steer you in the right direction, but as was mentioned above don't even bother pm'ing them if you're not ready to drop $2500 because that's what the kit runs. It's a full KIT, not just a lip. One of my favorites but also one of the most expensive. I personally plan to do the 97 conversion because it makes more sense for my needs. I could never re-coup the money that kit costs if I decided to sell my car. The 97 update actually adds a little value to the car and makes it more appealing to an average buyer. I don't plan on having this SC for more than another 18 months or so.

I also like the Wald kit and the Phenix Target Street Attacker kit....Phenix kit is just extremely low in the front...but otherwise it looks sharp good luck guys!
