id say custom forsure, you can see work has been done to the bumper and the side skirts definitely.

Yep, it definitely looks custom? It sort of looks like the 1st gen Dodge Avenger bumper, modied to fit the SC?

Gotta agree with steve on it looks like an old avenger.. I halfway don't mind it but it makes the sc look even longer than it already is

Definitely custom. It kinda reminds me of the Wald Executive lip kit for the '92-'96 front ends.

Was roaming around some Japanese sites and found this old Veilside front bumper

It isn't the same but it looks kinda similar imo. (no fog lights and the bottom of the bumper doesnt stick out as much)

Yeah probably is custom, i dont think it looks that bad. At first i thought it was the "Inspection" front or a modified version of one, which is also rare, after looking at it a bit more looks like someone hacked up the middle and put another hacked bumper and did some custom work.

Here is pic of the Inspection anyways havent heard about it on CL for awhile, wish there was more SCs with it

Here ya go; I went ahead and reduced the shadows for ya, 'cus I couldn't see anything in regards to detail.
It's definitely custom, 'cus you can see it ain't even finished yet.
Eh, not really a fan. Nothings better than stock. Our cars are of the rare type's that're most beautiful out the box.
