Question What Is Your Favorite Sc Body Style/Kit Combo? (i like pre 97w' Lip+ Aggressive wheel

Greetings,
What Is Your Favorite Sc Body Style/Kit Combo? I love the Vertex body done up right (CaltricSc Style) but there is something about the rounded, pre 97 body style, wingless, with a front lip and aggressive wheel fitment that KILLS to me. I just love it.
PeteSoarer's car before the body change is as beautiful as it gets for me. I have the 97+ kit ,minus front bumper and I am going to paint and install it in the next few weeks. I have the feeling at some point (when I need a change), I may remove it and go back old school pre 97 +lip with aggressive wheel fitment.

What is your all time favorite look for the Sc?



This is mine! (thanks for the inspiration Pete!)

Even though Vertex and Auto Couture are the most popular body kits I still like them the most. Everything about the 97+ kits make the SC look more updated with all the lights and the front grille and makes the body tastefully less round

I agree.....
But there is still something about that round body with aggressive wheels. It does something special for me.
I posted this to see if there are some other people that see what i see because most people seem to prefer 97+

I have mixed feelings about body kits, but I do like the AC or Shine kit. Next would be pre 97+with a OEM lip, 97sides and lower moldings, with a 97 rear bumper. As far as my favorites AC or Shine Kit...teelex, lexforlife. Vertex...kohinoor, and for a clean OEM look, 97+ with a wide body touch-JDMMuscle.

I have a 96 and a 97 SC, and I must say that I always hated the mail-slot front of the 97+ until recently. But my favorite look is the color matched OEM lip on 92-96 front, and 97+ OEM sides. I love the way my car looks with it.

Here is how my '92 "started" and where it is so far..... Stuck on which wheels to go with and the front bumper is not the correct one and will soon be replaced (I hope)....

I KNOW! That color, paint, kit KILLS IT!
Tint, aggressive stance and it will be among my favorites. How did that color escape me? Never seen it!
