deline high-beam lights please to match the jdm housings.
Color scheme is friggin awesome.
body kit is alright. I really like those spoilers if your car can actually go!
I pretty much like it except for the rear bumper.

the roundness of the sideskirts reminds me of the late 60's stingrays that had the chrome exhaust down the sides. would probably look wrong on an SC but is like hawt secks on a stingray

Great to see you back slumming with us man!
Batmobile definately did everything right with his SC IMO......Very clean
He covered all those little details that often get ignored. (IE: The correct lower door moldings, lights etc) Thats what really separates his from most.
Anyhow I agree the Bomex looks best on a black SC. And that the rear of the Bomex kit was a little overdone, the sides somewhat i suppose. The same can be said of the Vertex and JIC rear too though IMO.....
My SC has an Origin rear and i truthfully dont look at it at certain angles because i get annoyed at the way it flares out......But anyway.....
There were some people that had installed the Bomex slightly further under the car, shaved & molded them on. And they flowed pretty well though.
Some of you were still babies so you may not realize it. But the Bomex kit was designed while the pre97 SC was still in production . There was even a no grill front bumper version.
At the time, Even though it was rare to see a car w/18s , even 16inch rims were considered big. Alot of people wanted it to be obvious that it wasnt stock. It was the style of the day to be flashy and over-do it when it came to bodykits and wings.
In fact if there had been a Bomex Vs AC kit poll in 1997 . The Bomex would have probably won....Seriously!

Not a fan of the kit but the paint/body work looks top notch. I also like the Bomex wing but still prefer a stock wing over anything aftermarket.

The kit looks good to me except the rear end. It could also do without so much rounding around the rear of the side skirts but I guess that is so it matches with the rear. Other then that the car looks good man. Maybe shop around for a rear lip that might match up well but is not as wild.
