Default Lip Kit Or Full Body

Which would you prefer?

LIP KIT?





OR



FULL BODY?????





I'd rather full body.....giving the ride a more agressive look.

rims sit pretty, finish it off clean with an Auto Couture.

But if you're asking for lip or full bumper replacement, I'd have to say it varies on the style.

AutoCouture would be the only full kit I'd let on my car.

-and lip would be the Vertex front lip. Hope I won't be dissapointed.

And I'm sure Reggie won't mind you using his car as an example like that, I'm sure you asked him if it was cool...right?

Nope did not ask, but I am sure he won't mind. Plus I did not know it was his car, it was a random pic for an example. I am pretty sure no problems would arouse from this. And I assure Reggie's ride is in no serious danger for this stunt. Upon completion his ride would be in one piece and operational.

It really depends on what you wanna go with. I have noticed that most if not all Aero kits will sit lower than most lip kits. Me personally would go with a full kit if you are looking for a more agressive look for you're ride. Oh and also you might want to resize that siggy. Kinda big. This isn't SF with the worlds largest sigs allowed.

not very good comparisons

The BN sports soarer has badass wheel fitment and the kit is awesome. You have to pay for it for it though.
Please go BN if you can afford it and run aggressive wheels to make it flow well.

Just being different duke......
I see everyone has a pattern and way of doing things around here. I like to live on the edge, so I do things a lil different. It may cause harm to some and may bring great friendship to others. I will take into consideration though, but ......"everything is subject to change".

for me I like full bumper and sidesteps for the front, but only rear half spoiler (such as the vertex rear half which at least resembles its cousin's full rear bumper) for the back. I have grown attached to my rear backup sonar and the idea of losing it for a full rear bumper is not even considered. Plus the idea that the rear bumpers get destroyed on most drift cars I can live with losing a rear half and not yanking the sonar out everytime the rear bumper gets yanked.
But thats just my 2¢.

Get a full kit, it makes the car look updated and more aggressive.

Plus the price difference between a lip kit and a full kit isn't that great.

I guess there's no danger but Mike was trying to tell you it's proper etiquette to ask before reproducing someone else's images. They all belong to CL when posted but not to the individual poster. I went this far to explain because of your sarcastic response. Be careful, we try to get along around here.

As for the subject of the thread...I chose the lip because I prefer the smooth front of the 92-96 sc's as opposed to the grill between the eyes of the 97+. Also, the wisesports lip is rather exclusive and not many have it...it ain't cheap. I paid almost as much for my used lip as I would have for the entire 97+ bumper replacement.
