Default JIC MAGIC front lip... Yes a lip.

Hey guys,

Before I spend $400+ for JDM lip for SCs, let me know what you think about my JIC MAGIC front lip.

I bought a JIC Magic full kit (replica), installed the sides and rear and the front bumper does not look good to me. So I decided to get a 97 OEM front.

I dismantled my JIC front bumper and trimmed off the lower part as a lip.

As you can see on the pictures below it fits perfect on my 97 front bumper, except the ends need to be trimmed which is easy to do.

I'm repainting my car blue ( 350z blue/RSP? ) and wrap the lip with carbon fiber cloth.

Let me know what you think. Should I keep it or get a Wise , Vertex , Bigwin , or SC400 lip.

Keep the lip! Like someone said...it's better to be different and have something custom.

A lot of RSP has been poppin up lately. If you're gonna paint ur car RSP, you will not be disappointed.

Mold it to 97 and have clean, fully custom front end. Most of the exe and vip cars are rocking custom aero now days in Japan.
