Exclamation Need body kit measurements! (JIC, Vertex, 97+ lips, etc. please chime in!)

Measurements of various body kits including lips for 97+

Example:



OEM 97+ kit
front bumper: 17''
side skirts (front and rear): 6''
rear extension: 5''

OEM 92-96
front bumper with OEM lip: 17"

92-96 wise:

lip alone: 5"
front bumper w/lip: 19.75"

Vertex kit
97+ authentic Vertex Lip: 6.5"
97+ Front Bumper w/lip: 19"
Vertex Sides: 8" from highest point to lowest point
Rear Vertex lip: 8"
Rear bumper including lip:18.5"


JIC kit
Front bumper: 18.5"
Front side skirt: 7"
Rear of side skirt: 8"
Rear lip at wheelwell: 7.5"


Autocouture kit
Front bumper: 18.5"
Front side skirt: 7.25"
Rear of side skirt: 6.75"
Rear extension: 6.125"


Big Win lip kit
97+ Front bumper w/lip: 18''


**we can assume all replica kits are the same (Vertex, JIC, Autocouture) or very similar in measurement** but don't hold me to that

Please feel free to contribute!


Thanks

Maybe i can help , Well i really dunno the measurement of the kit but base on my experience i used to have vertex side with 97 bumper with big win front lip and 97 rear i end up selling it George (Baoser) here from CL cause i didnt like it due to the fact that the side skirt sits lower than the front and rear . Long story short i end up picking up vertex lip which came out nicely even with the side. hope this helps.

I also saw pics of Baoser car after he install the big win front lip with 97 side and rear. Came out really nice

We are already communicating through PM, don't know why you posted this..


Vinh thanks a lot man! It'll help me out for sure

Thanks for the input autoboy. Yea I'm leaning towards just running the full Vertex lip kit right now. I'm thinking for Big Win, JIC sides/rear might work. Maybe not with the lines but more likely with the height


Keep it coming!

If I get enough measurements I will move them all to the first post and have the mods change the title to Body Kit measurements to help out future members' needs

If someone with JIC sides/rear and someone with a BW front lip could help out that would be great

Judging from vinh's contribution, I think only the measurement of the lip mounted on the bumper would be useful because I'm sure the overlap of lip on bumper is different on varying lips. Post up if you can, thanks!
