http://ww30-c-1025_1042/raceonusa-hiflex-type-342-body-kit-front-bumper-lexus-sc-series-92-00-2-door

i was originally planning on buying a Wise lip for my '92 front end, but for the amount of money it costs, i might as well just replace the whole front bumper with something a little nicer.

any thoughts? feedback..

The wise lip might be a better choice, I'm not sure about the fitment for this one..

Race On USA isn't all that bad, that bumper reminds me of the Widebody Kit for the Supra

Just remember you get what you pay for. It probably won't have good fitment and will cost you an arm or leg to get it fitted properly by your local bodyshop.

There's a reason their **** is cheap, because it isn't worth the fiberglass it's made off, most of the time the peices don't even fit. If you don't believe me, read some of the reviews:

http://www.mr2.com/forums/feedback/T...onusa-com.html

They sell poorly made knock off's and have terrible customer service, Did I specify enough? or need me to find more account's of my claims?

You could just go with the Shine Replica A/C Front Bumper....
