1J0Z SC

Today I was able to scoop up a real Auto Couture front bumper. I am having a disagreement with my buddy and he says it won't be as aggressive as my old setup... I personally love this front bumper (grille-less)
Here is my old setup:



Now here is my car as it sits currently:
(my lip was damaged out on the highway )





I have the AIT side skirts and AIT single exhaust rear valence. Its the vertex knockoff.

Here are a few examples of some beautiful white SC's with the Auto Couture front bumper
(I took these off google, but if this is your car I love it! I used paint to edit out the front grille)
This is exactly how I would have the front bumper set up:








I also plan on purchasing a spoiler like this in the near future. So keep this in mind as well to see how it flows.




Now my question to everyone on CL is, will this flow? Will it look weird, and I should just sell the Auto couture and get another lip for my 97+ bumper?

Also, behind the bottom opening I will have a polished intercooler, which is one of the main reasons why I think it will give it such an aggressive look. But, a few people have told me it looks a little too much to the stock front bumper.

Thanks

Honestly, I think the google image bumper would look alot better if the car had a spoiler, just seems to mess up the flow of the car. Nevrmind now that you changed pics it looks good.

IMHO the Auto Couture bumper looks like this:

Body kits are 2004 - run a clean 97+ system.

Yes, I definitely agree, I hate bottom center grille, I would have just an opening there instead of the cross.

Be sure to vote too please!

I'll be the opposition here, I personally love the AC set!

Now, do you think it will look weird with the rest of the body of my car?

shouldn't look too funky. it's not going to be perfect but won't be terrible.

I did some reading before hand as well. Fliptrix on here has ran the same setup, but with the car being black its kind of hard to tell.

I wouldn't do the spoiler, but that's just me personally. I've got a 92-96 OEM in black w/ 3rd brake light if you want that one.

I like the AC kit as well. Unfortunately it just doesn't work for my daily driving needs, so I stick with my OEM bumpers and install a front lip for shows, meets, etc.

Yeah if you don't mind send me pictures through pm! Thanks!


Yeah I definitely understand. I bought a little $800 97 corolla for good gas mileage, and I love it.

sell the AC, it doesn't look quite right, even if it is a genuine name brand.

I think it.looks kinda off a little with the vertex sides and rear. Seen it in person. Not my taste
