I say JIC. For the longest time I always wanted to get a 97 conversion and now that I have one I'm bored of it.

JIC looks better on darker colored cars.

I have to agree. White oem looks nice but I'm not feeling the JIC White. JIC in Blue looks nice but white, meh.

If your SC will allow a FMIC, then I would 100% say JIC, if not its a toss up. Are you trying to make it stand out even more? JIC then, if not I would spend money else where

97+ is clean, but I think the JIC sides and rear would look great with your wheel setup.

I say stick with #1. The jic kit looks like rice. Cut the grill out on your oem bumper and do the LIP mod and it will look a 100 times better than the JIC.
