Question Shine or AC sides and rear with pre 97 front + lip.

Hi,
Does anyone have a picture of an Sc with Shine or AC sides and rear with pre 97 front +Wise or OEM lip?
I have the Shine sides and rear and I am planning to use my stock nose with either my Wise lip or my OEM lip. I have never seen this combination and want to figure out which lip to use and if it all lines up nicely. I have scoured google for some time and I could use the assist if someone has some pictures.

I'll take a look for you StudioGeek. But I know for a fact that the Wise lip will sit way too low. Wise is knock off of T&E Vertex. As we all know, VERTEX is the tallest kit out there.

Wise will sit at least an inch lower than Shine sides and the OEM lip will sit up higher than Shine sides.

Guess there is no clear cut solution then. The OEM lip is a perfect match for the 97+sides so it will not match too well with the lower Shine sides. I bet the Wald Executive front bumper would match well, but good luck finding one.

Thanks guys!!!
I figured there would be height differences, but I think either could still look great!
Perhaps even better than 100% level all around.

If no one comes up with pics, I guess I will soon enough!

Thanks again!

Your best bet is to go with the wise lip. the oem one goes well with the 97 sides.

As others have mentioned, the Wise lip will sit pretty low causing a rake effect. You may want to consider mounting the Supra TT front lip on your pre 97 bumpers for the hell of it. There are poly ones available for under $100 + free shipping on ebay.

You are probably right. I will try that after a test mounting of the other two perhaps. I would also fill the air dam and possibly cut the smile off.

Thanks Tabaka!

I'd still LOVE to see some pics if anyone has any. Still considering the OEM lip with my Shine kit for the 400 and the OEM lip with my JIC sides and rear for the 300. I ordered a Shine bumper, but so far Greyhound has lost it. It's been over a month.
