Inexpensive Rear Lower Lip That matches 97+ Sides?
Hi,
Does anyone know who makes an inexpensive rear lower lip that fits OK with the 97+ sides?
I was about to get the 97+ rear bumper but i was just wondering if i could just put a rear lip on the bottom and skip the 97+Rear bumper and lower rear panels. It seems i can just bolt those on to my existing 95 bumper. Is this so?
When i search for rear spoiler, I get mostly "wings", even if I add lower. Are they called something else? Is Vertex a wrap around whole bumper or just the lower "wrap around" part?
Thanks,
SG

yea i was in the same boat a few months ago, looking for a decent lip for a good price that fits the 97 sides but i don think it exists.
the vertex and other body kit lips are too agresive and dont flow, then you have to worry about fitment and quality etc....
I just went with a 97 rear and im more then happy with it now.

I have a 92, and currently have both the Rideskinz rear lip, and a 97 rear bumper sitting in my basement. Trying to decide which one I want to go with, and then will sell the other. Those are pretty much the only two options I think flow well with the 97 skirts.

It depends on what you're going for. Most people are too idiotic to KNOW that there are rear lips for 92-96 that want to "convert over" or have their on finishing touch. I know T&E makes a vertext lip kit specifiably for these years.
So depending on what your base year is. Yes there is the option. Along with a few other knock off brands that have rear lips. imo a fully lip kitted 92-96 SC craps all over the softer 97+ feminine design.

^Obvious aggressive response from another Fake 97+ SC owner. Don't rush me, if you're in a rush you can check the other threads that have gone over this.
I know vertex sits way low. I've been there and done that.
THIS LIP kit that fits the wise lip height and design is a good one, for a nice finisher
OPTIONS:
Height wise the Origin (Knock off) is close in height and shape (and easily sourced still), but not 100% like a 97+
The JIC Magic one has a slightly flare in design near the wheel well, but is still an option if you wish
The CBK one would fit best, but it looks like they took it down...
Until then I'd have to do more research and eye to eye matching with my boy's 97 to see what's close, and what isn't. pictures can only say so much when I look at options online.
We don't have much option, so if you want, you can do a "kouki" conversion like everyone else does/recommends.

Treat each other nicely guys, I have benefitted from every answer here.
Keep the ideas flowing please.
PS, I will be using a Wise front lip if that helps any.
PPS: Pictures are really helpful.
Thank You All!

Don't get a lip or the 97 rear if you plan to stick with 97 sides. Go straight for the shine bumper. It's $350+ shipping. It will be very close to matching your 97 sides. In fact, I believe it's just a hair above in measurement.
DO NOT GET THE RIDESKINS REAR LIP IT'S ABSOLUTE JUNK THAT DOESN'T FIT
You will hate yourself, hate your car, and hate America. You've done a good job of cleaning up and removing a crappy body kit from your car. Keep up the good work.
