Go JIC my man, I love the 97+ kit and all, I am going with it myself. But I just think the JIC will match more with what is being accomplished by the car. Just IMO

Your car looks really good as is already. If you are looking for a more aggressive look then go with the JIC. The kit will probably match your 20's better. Also, like somebody mentioned you can get most of the money back from selling the oem pieces. Another thing to consider is the durability of the parts. The oem parts will most likely be more durable than the JIC especially the front bumper since it is the piece that gets scraped the most. Although if money really isn't an issue, just keep the oem parts in case you don't like the kit. Hope you choose the decision that you're happy with.

I got the JIC sides n rear but ya, i think the kit looks tighter on dark colored SC's; not so into the front of the JIC for a white car.. but your rims'll go tight with the sides n rear. gotta agree on the pre-97 lip retro if the sides DO line up.

i would say to go with the JIC if you dont have to put on that front license plate, but if you do have to keep it on, I would say to keep the '97 look, but thats just my opinion

Your car is perfect as is . Keeping the 97 and up gets my vote.

Yeah I must admit, I'm on the fence on this one. I bought the JIC but it might be to low for normal driving conditions?

I may have to put it on to see what it looks like then decide which to keep.

I bought a JIC bodykit but I may not put it on. Watch for it to go up for sale in the near future.

Wow, look at the poll! 50/50 split! You guys are as undecided as me.

What lip are you adding to the 97, a 92-96?

Do the JIC it will flow well with the wheels plus it will be a complete package the kit the wheels, boost. I'm assuming your car isn't a daily driver. Plus you will sell the 97 parts here in less than a day anyway lol.
