The street credibility of a '95-'96 year model SC...

My first 7 SCs are 92-96, but the most recent 3 are all 97+ since so I don't have to get through the trouble converting them to 97+, plus the gauge cluster etc are much updated and looks better as well.
97+ has become very affordable recently anyway.

The 97+ conversion was the first thing I did when I bought my 93 SC. That conversion makes the SC look timeless and aggressive.
As for the "B" series Sc's, they are cool but the 97+ Sc's look like brand new rides, and not as dated. IMO

Just got my car back from the body shop today. My original front bumper had a bad repaint by the previous owner so I knew it would need replacing. I happen to prefer the 95-96 look with the oem lip over the 97-00, so I found a cover off a 96 and used my existing lip. I owe a thanks to milt, Raine, CrazySC300, and Peter_95 for inspiring me to go the 95-96 route.

I have 95 love too, my fav part is that the front bottom grill of the front bumper can be removed with screws unlike the 92-94 model where you would have to cut out part of the bumper if you want to show off you intercooler or make it breathe better. Pretty sweet right.
you can remove it for shows, and pop it back on for DD.
the fogs were usefull too when i had 3k yellow hid's in there. they were so blinding I ended up swapping em out for yellow smd led's.
I may swap back, the led's barely light up the lens.

It's sad sometimes that some folks cannot truly distinguish the '92-'94 bumpers from the '95-'96, to them, It's just a "pre '97" bumper...But yeah, some of the reasons why I love the '95-'96 front bumpers is that it still has the "Non-grille" look and has that black plastic piece on the bottom that's easily removable. and it looks great with the oem lip too.
As soon as I can get my hands on a '97+ rear bumper (w/extensions) I would love to show pics of what an SC with a '95-'96 front bumper,spoiler,tailights all coupled with '97-'00 sides and rear altogether coupled with an oem '92-'94 lip painted to match. I've never really seen anyone around here do that crazy combination.
