Default Need Some Advice Fast on mixing bodykit pieces!!

Just looking for some advice...I'm looking to get a new bodykit for my renessaince red 97 sc300. I really like the BOmex front end but can't stand the rest of the kit, so I wanted to know what any of you guys think about going with the BOmex front end and using sides and rears from another style of kit? Any thoughts or suggestions? Has anyone done the same or seen it done, if so what kit would match up with the bomex front? My other option is to go with a Vertex front and sides and BN sports rear (can't locate a domestic vertex rear for a 97 application) or I could just go with a JIC magic all the way around- I just think the JIC front end is a little square and plain...Please offer some suggestions b/c I'm needing to get this done like yesterday!!

have you been to www.intellexual.net to see the pictures of body kits you have up there? you might get some great ideas...

i'm not sure if anyone can tell you what to get, you know your tastes the best.

Default Kit mixing and matching

I've seen all the kits, I'm just wanting to know if anyone out there has seen a SC with a bomex front end and sides and rear from another kit that looks compatible..

Default Do-Luck?

I think the Do-Luck sides & back would look pretty good with that front. I agree with you, the Bomex sides & rear look bloated.

I was considering the Bomex front with JIC magic sides and rears but I'm wondering if that would clash to much..

hm... i always thought that ordering only a front bumper of a body kit or sides for that matter will only raise up the cost of purchase. I know that with my kit, it was cheaper to purchase it as kit, rather than getting pieces separately.

back on topic, you should ask some of our photoshop guys to do some magic for you. That way you'll know what it looks like before you spend your cash.

Matching a Bomex front bumper with JIC side skirts will look REALLY wierd...

The front bumper of the 97+ Bomex kit flares out WAYYYY tooo much on the the side...JIC skirts does not flare to match the bumper..

My advice is don't do it...Just get the JIC kit...

Alright, I can get the Vertex front and sides but I can't locate a rear piece for my 97 and I really don't have the extra cash to spending to get a 96 rear bumper just so I can fit the Vertex rear, so I'm wanting to know if anyone is familiar enough with the BN Sports kit to know whether or not the rear from the BN sports kit would match up well with the rest of the Vertex kit. Comparing the BN with the Vertex is tough b/c there only seems to be 2 pics of the BN SPort package floating around the web, the differences seem to be subtle.

I have a BN Sports T2 rear around here someplace BUT, It flares out a lot more than the other kits you've mentioned....alot more.

Look into the Monkey Magic kit.....Its nice and not over-done.

Why cant you get the Vertex rear?
