Default yay or nay....auto couture sides and rear (shine) with oem 92-96 lip on 93 sc

Im interested is the auto couture rear and sides, but want to run a oem sc400 lip on my 93 bumper. Has anyone seen how it looks or done this them selves. If you have pictures of how this will work it'll help me out alot!


I have photos of a pre 97 sc bumper with oem lip with 97 skirts. it looks even. And I seen a photo of a auto couture bumper on a car with 97 skirts. The auto couture looks a bit lower. Im guessing the combo Im going for will look decent. I just need pics to finalize the decision.


So guys... oem sc400 lip on a 93 bumper, with auto couture sides and rear. Let me know if you can.

Thanks.

The sides and rear will look pretty dang low compared to the front. If you're going to go aftermarket then you might as well go all the way

Really would only look somewhat decent if the front lip is color matched. If it stays black it will always just look like your missing something in the front.

I have a OEM sc400 lip on my 96 bumper with 97+ sides and it looks great. I had the lip color matched to the car. It was expensive because of the flexible material, but looks great like that IMO

Think it will look good, do what you plan if you dont like it get another front. I like that your staying with a 93 front and oem lip.

That AC front is growing on me especially withe the middle cut out.

Yea I have seen the OEM lip line up well with the 97 sides. However Shine sides are much lower.
