Very nice, we Are going to have to start a JIC thread! I am really starting to love the JIC kit. seeing these two cars does 2 things.
1. gets me excited to get mine done.
2. shows me how low I will be.

Same for me! I've already had mine repaired once (small crack from hitting roadkill on the highway at 95mph) and touched up twice. Getting in an and out of driveways are a pain, I scrap every single time and I'm not even at my lowest setting.
Anyways back on topic, Scott your car is going to look amazing with the JIC kit (even more so than it already does)! Hands down the best looking kit for our cars. Can't wait to see pics! Maybe us JIC guys can overtake the Autocouture guys
Here's mine

Are you referring to the gaps? Mine's not perfect on the driver side. Had to work quite a bit to make the passenger side fit correctly, but could never get the driver side perfect. I gave up and settled on having a small gap on the driver side, which I'm attributing to the fact that my SC was in an front-end accident before I picked it up.

How low is it? Mock up pics!
Here is a front end mock up pic, After hous and hours of fitting. Note its not all bolted on yet so fit is actually better than in the pictures. Is it low? Oh yeah, Maybe to low!
man, I hate to say it, but I don't like it at all...
stock = sleek
JIC = ricer
to me at least, it looks like they took a stock Supra bumper and expanded all the dimensions, so it looks like everything is bigger than it should be...

Ricer? I don’t really think ricer is a fitting description.
It is a aggressive kit, I will give you that.
It looks really mean! IMO
I do love my 97 stuff, but it’s so everyday normal. Looking at options to take my ride to the next level. Still haven’t convinced myself that this is the right kit to do it but it sure gives the car a completely different look.
Don't listen to other people. Only listen to people who matter, which is me! haha
I think the car's going to look sweet. Once the sideskirts and rear bumpers are on and painted it'll shut up all the haters!

OK, Time for all the haters to come out and play. LOL!
Here it is installed. Those who hate it, Sorry but its a new look. 97 parts are all bubble wraped and stored away just in case. I actually think it looks hot!

Don't you hate the JIC no more? It's nice, Scott. I always thought your 20" rims are big, but they just blend in the JIC perfectly. 
In my opinion, the JIC is nicest overall. The AC has the front & sides nice, but the rear is so plain like stock. The Vertex is also nice but not as the JIC. There're other kits in the U.S but they're not my taste. However, there're several more nice kits in Japan but they're not imported into the U.S. so why should I care.
You might have to extend the exhaust tips out further. It's because they might burn or darken the rear lip, especially when the fuel is a little rich. I've seen this happened a lot. Better be safe than sorry, my friend. Are you going to dyno your car when the supercharger top goal is finished?
