Default What bumper is this?

I'm guessing this is just the factory SC400 lip but, I'm not sure. Anybody know which front end this is?

DETUNED- Thanks for the quick reply. I have found a few distributors for this but it takes 6-8 weeks to get this part. Anybody know where I can get this or something like it a little quicker?

Yes, PM {-_-} or {-.-} I forgot which one but his name is Robert and he can ship them to you via Air. That is the quickest way.

I'm glad a couple more people are actually getting the good stuff.

The Ac kit is definitely an awesome kit, and the best looking one there is..... but the 97 kit is SO CLOSE in comparison that most people end up with the 97 kit.

My car is at the body shop now, I planned on a complete 97 upgrade with an SC400 lip, then I stumbled across this. I haven't found any good pics with the 97 so it is hard to compare but I really like the look of the AC front.

You know what is funny about the AC kit is that "at a glance" you don't notice the slightly larger lip, but you do notice the vertical bars in the center ........... ironically they are the only real defining change in the AC front end................. yet people always cut them out or paint them to hide them. LOL

Get the AC kit if you can afford it, its not for everyone and for those who have it, makes you stand out from the crowd for sure. Definitely one of the most simple, luxurious kits available for the SC.
