Default Pics of Shine Front w/ 97+ Side and Rear

Since I was one of the guys that bought the new Poly APT front bumpers it's been driving me crazy to see what it will look like with factory skirts and rears. Some say it will be to low some say it might look okay. After doing some digging I finally found pics of the front end with factory 97+ parts. I personally think it looks great. Kudos to One_JZ_SC3 who's pics I'm posting.

Thanks for posting this because I was curious too. I have the 97+ sides/rear and front with the Fujin lip. I'm starting to like this AC setup more and more; may get in on the buy for the poly sides/rear.

It looks good Shane. It definitely doesn't look out of place.

It doesn't really look bad but if you look at the car farther on the side view , you will notice that something seems not right , the front bumper is a lot lower . The etched line and the bottom line of the front bumper wouldn't be a continuous flow to the rear

IMHO , not a perfect match .

I think it looks great.

Sure, does it hang a bit lower than the stock sideskirts? Well, of course, that bumper is made to hang lower than the stock bumper, if it was the same height, it would look almost identical to OEM.

That doesn't bother me at all. I rocket the Vertex front lip on my car for years. That thing was aggressive, wasn't to everyone's liking, but I never gave a crap.

Got an authentic Big Win lip that I ordered from Japan last Christmas that I plan on painting soon and mounting on the car in the upcoming months. It's more subtle tan the Vertex, but definitely a bit lower than stock (after all, that's kind of the point, any lip will either stick out more an/or hang lower because it's an ADDITION to the bumper).

I think it looks good. I would like to see it how it looks in person.

I like it. I may do the rest of the kit later but I could live with just the bumper.

Not bad at all, it would obviously be better with the matching pieces but to the untuned eye, no one would ever notice.
