I considered this after seeing it on the black T's project car. I thought I would like it more than I do on a pre 97'.
I'd like to see it with the Supra air dams filled and the Sc bumper "T" plastic deleted. It would be much cleaner that way. It's a bit too busy for me as is.

Big props for trying it and getting it to fit tho. We all benefit from people who try new things.

Doesnt look that bad but IMO SC400 Lip looks the best on 92 Front...

Also it may look better if you cut the wings off of it like the supra guys do...

I think chnk sagged it a little to better match those skirts, but cityknight made it fit much much better.

I think it looks great, polyurethane so its durable, and for about 100 bucks cant go wrong at all.

Lol forgot to mention its not my car,

I think it goes great with a 95-96 bumper, the wings on the side actually flows with the fog lights pretty damn well.

I agree it looking very busy on the 92-94

Yeah no kidding, real classy.. If this were Zilvia, you would have had your mod status jacked for something like that, grow up O.L.T. Your job as a mod is to watch for things like that, not say them...

I think it works well with the 92-94 since it's very similar to 95-96, I just think the center grille line "t" bar should be cut out and holes filled properly to look smoothe. I'm gonna definitely jump on this as fiberglass is not an option for me.

The more I think about it, it is sometimes hard to pinpoint what is bothering your "eye". Apart from the mods I listed above, I'd bet with those white fenders and the lip painted to match the car, it would look much cleaner and maybe even great.

PS: The dude looking into the drivers side looks like Michael Bisping (UFC) LOL.

I'm not a fan...it doesn't match any of the SCs lines and makes the front look busy. Way too snowplowish.

How? It looks like a wise lip/oem lip with 2 holes in it, same curvature, and not even as big as the wise lip. I think it's the side wings that are messing with people's eyes, but I quite like them

I'd assume the side wings ARE what contribute to the smiling "snowplow" vibe. The size and angle of the lip itself are perhaps even nicer then the Wise. The Wise curves outward in the center a little bit too much for my tastes from a side view (I purchased one anyway). It looks MEAN from the front though.
I'd hit that with the smile cut and the holes filled.
