Default What Rear Lip Is Best?

Well right now im in the process of doing a partial 97+ conversion on my 93 300. The thing is im getting new side skirts soon and im picking up a belive a 98 or 99 fornt bumper monday from a club lexus user for 265. Im not too crazy about the rear 97+ bumper so i was wondering if anyone knows of a good nice looking plain rear lip for a 92-96 rear bumper. I like the way these bumpers look so im deciding to keep it. I wont have to look for the rocker pannels either but its not like their hard to find anyways. Someone gimmie some feedback.

I think the Erebuni rear lip is pretty simple. I'm pretty sure it does not hang lower than the oem 97 sides either.

Avoid the JIC rear if possible. It doesn't fit very well.

Look at yellowgti's thread. He has 97+ skirts with VIS or other knockoff rear.

Check out Memory fabs site. They have about 14 different kits for SCs with pics and how much $. They even have the cost listed for each part. And at least when i talked to them last year, they would sell partials, wich most places shy away from.
Even if you dont buy from them . You can at least get an idea of what they run.

if you are going the 97+ conversion route on the front and sides, finish it off with the rears.

i have complete rear bumper, and extensions for sale. 275 shipped. dealer price for those parts is close to $500.

you can go with erebuni, but then you will have issues with fitment, etc. At the end of the day, erebuni with labor is still cheaper than the dealer, but not cheaper than my cost with correct used parts.

Yo Gazi for erebuni you have to buy the whole kit? Since they are local up there, couldn't someone do a pick up on the rear lip?

I think you can, your best bet is to ask Zaimar - nysupraman.

Congratulations on the new 99 front. I know which one you are talking about. I was going to buy that one but then kind of changed my mind about it. I just felt like I was wasting my time with the seller.

I say just complete the full 97+ look with the factory body pieces. The SC looks so nice when it is dropped on a full 97 body.
