Front Bumper Cover
Going to be replacing my front numper cover as over the years it has taken a beating. Today I was thinking I might go aftermarket. What aftermarket front bumper cover would look good with the factory 97 kit? All pics welcome.

My guess is that the T's project aero front bumper would look best with the stock 97+ kit, but I've never seen it done.

Auto Couture is the best IMO with the stock body.

Stock or the AC/Shine front. There are very few aftermarket kits that look decent on an SC..thats just IMO though.

Shane, your car is very classy. Keep it the way it is. I feel like everyone is doing the Shine kit lately. OEM looks perfect.

I say keep it stock, but i also like the look of the AC (Auto Couture) bumper. never seen it with a stock setup though, but it might look good.

The AC/Shine front bumper will sit lower then the rest of the 97+ kit

this x2, and it sits almost 2" lower than the factor side skirts. Add a complete kit if you're going aftermarket on the front.

Stay OEM or go with T's Project. Here's a picture of T's with OEM side skirts:

i like the T's Project sides and rear, but I don't see what the big changes were to the front bumber. I used this for a reference:
