Default What Lip to Get?

Are there any tastefull front lips for the 97+ Front bumpers? I have done many searches and can't find anything. Could you all post some pics and/or some websites of some clean looking lips? Something CF would be nice too.

I have the stock SC400 lip and im very happy with it, clean and durable. I believe Erebuni makes a lip to. Try searching and you should be able to find some good pics.

those lips will not fit 97+ your best bet is either the Wise Sports Front for 97+, The Vertex Lip for 97+, or the BN Sports Lip for 97+

if you have an extra $600 and some change, I can point you in the right direction. If not, I'm sure i can ghetto rig you one.

This section of CL is definitely going downhill...quick.

92-94 oem lips won't fit the 97+ all the way from side to side. I believe you'll get a gap on each side if you fit it from the center.

Does anybody ever realize that unless new threads are started, the same information will get around to everybody. I'm sure EVERYTHING on this board has been talked about more than once, and yes people should search but I mean if new threads are never started then people with new information reguarding the topic will never get it out.

I've been at forums where people tell others to search ALL the time and it gets annoying, clogs things up and just pisses people off in general.

There are things people should search for like: sc300 vs sc400, sc400 turbo, sc300 2jz-gte swap, etc.

I've never seen a post on this, maybe there was one two years ago or maybe there was one but it didn't have the EXACT information somebody needed so they asked a more specific question.

All I'm saying is lighten up guys.

I wouldn't have told him to search unless I was sure that there was an exact thread on this. Everytime I tell someone to search I will give them a couple of links to get them started. You dont expect us to go out and search for them all the time do you? Also, the EXACT thread wasn't a year or 2 ago, it was more like a month or two. Searching is not hard at all.
Here is an example, a couple of weeks ago I wanted some tips for getting the seat belt to retract smoothly; 3 words (seat belt retractor) into the advanced search got me this.
Last time this thread was seen was a year ago. Hard? Nope!

Okay, I think thats fine, especially when people include a few links, but overall I've just seen more and more of people telling somebody to search with no other useful information in the reply.

if you have new info pretaining to the subject, then start the post- if not- then dont

these post do not include info- they could almost all be answered by the FAQ and searching-

Back to his question: I like the Wald lip for the 97 front bumper. It's real clean looking. I think they only sell complete kits now though. The rest of the kit is really nice anyway though.

those lips stated above are all around $600. Even if you have a shop, they won't give you a discount. All can be had in roughly 1-2 months after the order is sent to Japan.

trust me ,i've called and checked
