There is nothing wrong with Ac kit ,that bumper will look great with your intercooler behind it.
If this car is not your DD like you , said you have a corolla do not sell it AC kit keep what you have.
Ac is a copy of the 97 kit it's just extended a little bit , it comes down a little bit lower.
You can run the AC kit with the stock 97 skirts it looks great , i am not fan of the vertex it's too bulky IMO not my Style .
Comparing AC front to the Neon SRT4 front bumper ....

agree. there are similarities but they are two completely different cars. dismissing a AC kit because it looks kinda like a srt4 front bumper is not a good enough reason to dislike it in my opinion.

no beuno
I say keep the AC front bumper and the same sides. will look good. than eventually maybe get the whole AC kit or just go cheaper with Shine auto sides

The bottom cross grille always reminded me of Dodge, comparing a Dodge to a lexus? LOL
But the bottom cross has been removed on the bumper, it was shaved, and not hacked up. There is nothing wrong with Ac kit ,that bumper will look great with your intercooler behind it.

but, I will definitely keep everyone posted on this. I know Im not the only one who was wondered about this combination. But this time the car will be white, and much easier to see. agree. there are similarities but they are two completely different cars. dismissing a AC kit because it looks kinda like a srt4 front bumper is not a good enough reason to dislike it in my opinion.

The bumper will be arriving here tomorrow at noon. Ill be doing a test fit, and comparing the two. Until then Im still open to new idea's, I really like the feedback from everyone so far.
I have been comparing front 97+ lips (Big win vs. Fujin VIP Custom lip)
I love the way the Fujin lip looks, it gives the front end such an aggressive look.
If anyone has any pics of the big win front lip installed please post up a pic, I would definitely like to see it!

I always liked that front bumper. F that SRT4. the SC was out way before the SRT lineup
Anyways, saw two cars like that with similiar sideskirts both with the AC front. one guy thought it didnt flow that well. the side skirts were too aggresive for the AC bumper and went with a vertex bumper instead. The other guy had an entire vertex kit but got a shine bumper when he busted his vertex front.
I thought the setup AC setup looked fine. It's just a matter of preference honestly

My .02:
Next to your Haltech, the Vertex lip is the part on your car I'm most jealous of. Keep it if possible
I do like the AC kit, but just not not a big fan of the AC front when combined with Vertex-style sides and rear.

There's only one solution here. Keep the auto couture. yes it looks like a neon but you can paint the vertical frame black and vamooos! Or you can just remove it in general.
Also, the AC front bumper goes really well with the 97+ sides an rear.
AC FTW! dont get it twisted

Only issue I have is that the ac rep front is wider than the vertex rep. If you really look it throws the flow off
