Default Front Lip Splitter

Been looking for a front lip extension/splitter but the SC doesn't have much aftermarket support in that area. Before I go about making a custom one, I wanna hear some opinions about this universal one I found on eBay. What you guys think?

Looks good imo, but the real test will be how it looks installed on the SC. I had an EZ Lip on mine that looked similar, but it was just a rubber lip rather than an actual splitter.

I had the ez lip but only test fitted it. You think this lip is wide enough to meet both corners on the sc?

Just did a quick measure on my 97 front, and it measured approx 66.5" at the widest point and the 92-95 fronts are a couple inches shorter so width wise it should fit. Unfortunately due to the nature of splitters sticking out from the bumper a little bit, it seems that the length will be a couple inches short of sitting flush with the bumper.

I ordered the lip so hopefully not much modification is needed.

Splitter came in the mail and I am really excited about how it fits on my rideskinz lip. Fits perfectly the way I want it. Prefer the splitter sticking out past the front bumper.

I think the Fujin lip is a style that looks OEM and extends the stock bumper so I would paint it. Lots of lips are the opposite and don't look good painted, like the early OEM SC400 lips, I HATE when they are matched, hideous lol..

Paint it! Will look much better than leaving it the black color it comes as.
