Maybe i can help , Well i really dunno the measurement of the kit but base on my experience i used to have vertex side with 97 bumper with big win front lip and 97 rear i end up selling it George (Baoser) here from CL cause i didnt like it due to the fact that the side skirt sits lower than the front and rear . Long story short i end up picking up vertex lip which came out nicely even with the side. hope this helps.

I also saw pics of Baoser car after he install the big win front lip with 97 side and rear. Came out really nice

We are already communicating through PM, don't know why you posted this..

Vinh thanks a lot man! It'll help me out for sure

Thanks for the input autoboy. Yea I'm leaning towards just running the full Vertex lip kit right now. I'm thinking for Big Win, JIC sides/rear might work. Maybe not with the lines but more likely with the height

Keep it coming!

don't worryyy though I might make it a bit different.

If I get enough measurements I will move them all to the first post and have the mods change the title to Body Kit measurements to help out future members' needs

Help pleaseee

If someone with JIC sides/rear and someone with a BW front lip could help out that would be great

Judging from vinh's contribution, I think only the measurement of the lip mounted on the bumper would be useful because I'm sure the overlap of lip on bumper is different on varying lips. Post up if you can, thanks!

JIC
Front 18.5"
Front side skirt 7"
Rear of side skirt 8"
Rear lip at wheelwell 7.5"

This is a good thread, I happen to be mixing up a couple kits at the moment as well, I can use this info.
