Inexpensive Rear Lower Lip That matches 97+ Sides?

Here are some options while I try to find the other thread that had them installed with 97+ sides on.
92-96 is limited on what we have. As you all know, any and every kit is built off the 97+ styling. If you're lucky enough to source, and have money for the GOOD old fashioned kits for the 92-96 body style, go for it and don't second guess it.
VIS Racing / Velocity
V-Speed
^These two would probably fit the cleanest with 97+ as their design is just a simple rear lip.
J-Magic rear lip
As you can see. J-Magic has that outward flare towards the wheel well. OVERALL the JIC MAGIC / J-Magic have that round-to-squared-off bottom that looks great with the whole kit.
I'll keep looking, and doing more research for the both of us. I've got a pair of rare side skirts for 92-96, and I'm looking for a rear lip/bumper to go with it. I've a vertex rear bumper. I'm just not a fan of how it's 97+ styled. So we'll see what I'll find. Until then I'll be rocking paint matched OEM mud flaps.
Hope this helps

Mr. Tabka, I appreciate your feedback (as always). But If you bought their latest rear lip for about 380. I believe that was for the 92-96 ones. There was a bunch of complaining in their thread when they were first making it. About how people would have to "Downgrade" their 97+ bumper just to get this one if they made it for 92-96.

Don't get a lip or the 97 rear if you plan to stick with 97 sides. Go straight for the shine bumper. It's $350+ shipping. It will be very close to matching your 97 sides. In fact, I believe it's just a hair above in measurement.
DO NOT GET THE RIDESKINS REAR LIP IT'S ABSOLUTE JUNK THAT DOESN'T FIT
You will hate yourself, hate your car, and hate America. You've done a good job of cleaning up and removing a crappy body kit from your car. Keep up the good work.

i think thats where the problem lies, no one could agree on what years to make the lip for, so they made a "one size fits all"

I have the 97+ sides already but I want to try Shine sides and a rear lip. I don't want to spend big money on any of my body pieces until i land on the look i want. My plan is to get parts i like, paint them and swap things out as I wish until i fall in love. I have a great body guy and I'm getting a good deal on the parts.
What do you hate about the rideskins so much. Every thread I have seen with one being fitted, it fit pretty well. Point me to bad ones if you have seen some please. If you know where i can get a nice rear lip that is inexpensive, let me know please.
EDIT: i had not seen the rest of the thread when i replied. I see what you did not like. Please elaborate if there is more (fitment issues).
Thanks,
SG

Ahh, You beat me! I was gonna make the exact same thread but got lazy.lol I would be like many people here and go shine all the way if the front bumper was a lil flexible and wont crack into pieces when I scrape driving around LA like the oem ones. The 97 front/rear bumper in my opinion is as dull as 92-96 ones without any lip so I decided to stick with I have (92 with 400 lip) and went junkyard hunting for 97 sides which I scored for cheap. We dont have to be like everybody else here, 97, vertex, a/c, shine. Lol

Tac1sc - High five to another junk yard Dog. Luckily for me. The other SC was Renaissance red as well LOL
StudioGeek - Yeah man you can count on me. I'm a lover of 92-96 (especially 95-96, I converted my last SC into a fake 95-96 lol). A lot of people go 97+ which leaves usthat are, happy and wiling to work with what we have. In the dark about older kits and options. It's just sad.
Another downside is cost and source-ability. 97+ fits like a glove. Most of the older 92-96 kits do as well, and you'll notice there aren't knock offs everywhere like all these current kits built off 97+. BUT THERE IS HOPE! Keep up the search. Wise lip is probably the best and easiest to get for us.
But, one day... <3
