**Pic request** Vertex lip ONLY (97+)
**Pic request** Vertex lip ONLY (97+)
Did some searching, no such luck. 
Has anyone seen, or does anyone have just the Vertex lip on their 97+ SC?
I'm not much into full body kits, moreso just lips. I'm just having a hard time finding a pic of an SC with just the Vertex front lip. I've been considering it, but dont know if it will alter the body lines, giving it that snow-plow effect.
Heres a pic for reference:
any help or input would be greatly appreciated.

I put the vertex lip on the front bumper only and took a look at it, and it sits low. If you do not have the 97 up sides and rear forget it, looks funny. Even with that I suggest getting the Vertex sides and rear, flows with it great. I just bought the cheap knock off kit for the rear and sides, and then spent the $$ on the OEM front bumper and vertex lip. Front bumper full kit is a pain, chips etc, love the 98 stock bumper setup with lip, easy to repair lip and sides and rear are low maint.

Thanks for the replies.
97-SC300: Looks great, I noticed everyone and their sister said to get the side skirts, etc, but I think certain side's give the car that jelly-fish/ballroom dress/liberty bell look. Too much flare.
If I were to get some sideskirts they'd almost have to be flush.

i have to agree with highoncars... you will need to go with soemthing smaller if you get just the lip... I was going to go with just the lip and no kit, that was my vision also. but it just hung a lot lower than I thought. At minimum you need the 97 up sides and rear. I am sure you would agree if you saw a 94 with a vertex lip.
Here is my experience - wanted no kit... so I went with 92 body and 98 front bumper... hung way too low, was told it looked awkward and had to agree... so I went easy and grabbed the vertex knock off kit at a shop I knew for like $200... then the 98 bumper was way too high!!! then went vertex lip and voila, flows great..
