Default What lip should i get?

I had a vertex replica kit on my 93 sc300, but the front lip was a little to low for practicality around where i live. (getting into driveways)

I was looking for a lip that was a bit higher off the ground but still looked nice and aggressive. Any Ideas?

here is a pic of my car without the lip on atm.



I know its not too great of a picture, but its what i have right now. There were some fires around my area, and outside its snowing ashes.

Thanks in advance.

oem lips is too rounded for the agressive-ness of the vertex.
wise lip has that nice edge to it, so that could work with it better

other then that, the only one left for the pre 97 bumper lips are the vertex lip.

and where in ca are you from broski?

I don't know if he did that intentionally. But I think Milt was giving you a hint. Race On Usa, who is a sponsor on this forum has a "Vega" lip for the 92-96 front bumpers that look sweet. I think it might flow well with the "Vertex" sides and rear. RACEONUSA

Cause thats the whole reason why i took the vertex lip off.

Id go with a 97 front end with a big win lip, if you wanna keep the old bumper then just pick up the knockoff lip for the 92's from Race On.
