Default Anyone still selling a front lip?

I've got a 97' SC400 and I've been searching for the OEM front lip (Wise Lip) and I can't seem to find anyone selling them. If anyone is selling, please let me know.

For sure. I've been looking around cause I saw someone with it and my sister's sc300 has one, but my car doesn't. There's a guy selling 92-95 Wise Lips on Ebay and everyone says he's legit, but idk how to stretch it out to fit my 97' SC400. I also looked at the big win lip, it looks pretty good, just like the wise lip, but it's like $500 -______-

Damn thats expensive, I might as well just get the big win for that price. Having a '97 makes it so much harder to find a front lip

I got a OEM SC400 lip for pretty cheap because it was in pieces. Didn't matter to me though because I had to extend it anyways. Here's the final product. Not the best but it was my first time working with bondo.



Just pick up a cheap OEM lip and extend it. It's well worth it. It's not the price either I looked at the other lips and I didn't like how it stuck forward making the car look longer than it is.

There are no replica lips for the 97+. The cheapest one that does not require extending is the Fujin lip.

nice!
the factory sc400 lip looks awesome on the 97+ bumpers.
agreed, I don't like the other options out there for lips, and the fiberglass ones are just asking to be cracked

What did you fill the gap with to stretch it to fit?
