OEM looks better than white JIC (<-- sucker for sleepers)

I really like the Evolution Exclusive front lip on whites (my 2 cents)

Man, you have to go the JIC for sure, your car looks kind of out of place without it. Those rims are going to waste without the aftermarket kit you know. As I said before, go JIC!

I decided to just hang the JIC in the shop on the wall until I can decide.

JIC? 97? Have both and been looking at other kits now.

Despite the poll is 1 vote swayed for me to keep my 97 stuff I think I am going to try the JIC kit. All I have to lose is labor and paint? I think I will paint it up and throw it on, if I dont like it I will put my 97 stuff back on. Personally I think it has a pretty good chance to look hot! My 96 will look nice with the 97 stuff.

The kit will definately take the car to the next level. While I love the 97 conversion I think with the motor and wheel setup the car will flow better with the kit.

The 97' definitely flows with the SC's lines better. I personally do not like the boxy lip on the bottom of the JIC.

Just by looking at and comparing those 2 pics.......97!!!!!!!

You can't go wrong. But, the JIC would stand out more since everyone and their brother has the 97 conversion.

For looks = 97
For a more unique look = JIC

It's really a win/win for you

You will invoke twice the drool at import face off with the JIC kit. I would do it and neither look back nor think twice.
