Default Vertex front, vertex sides and jic rear?

I've never really liked the vertex rear lip and I'm planning on getting a JIC Magic rear... how do you guys think it will look with the rest of the vertex kit?

i think the jic rear lip is more round and its not as low as the vertex sides are. Hil has a thread that talks about different body kit fitment heights.

Uh, why not get the full bumper and not just the lip...
(Just like the Origin bumper.)

JIC wont match right... Please no.

what about maybe a 95 or 97 rear bumper with a diffuser? i think that would work out really well.

see the whole reason why i never liked the whole vertex bumper or any bumper with the lip attached is that you can see the paint difference so easy from quater panel to bumper. If you get a lip the line is more definded. I say go with a vertex lip imo it looks much better than the full bumper.
