Vertex Rear bumper or Rear lip???
I have a 93 SC3 and I'm getting ready to order my Vertex lip kit. But I'm in a bit of a bind here. I don't know if I should stick to with the factory rear and get the rear lip of should I get the full Vertex rear bumper?

having the full bumper looks alot cleaner, but having the rear lip you dont have to worry about replacing the whole thing if it cracks.
its really up to you imo.

The fitment on the entire bumper is a lot cleaner.

full bumper looks so much cleaner IMO. lip has a gap in between, it looks cheap i think.

Nobleblack has the right thinking here. I prefer the full bumper kits too.

The rear lip keeps the lines of the sideskirt which looks better imo. Rock the lip if its a full lip kit

Either one, bumper looks slightly cleaner, but either one would do me.

Either one would be fine. You can always just mold the lip.

I gotta agree with john.. plus, if something goes south.. a lip is sooooooooo much easier to repair..
plus, it does flow a lot nicer with the side skirts.. imo of course
