Default help me pic a rear lip please

Car isin the body shop and i only have a few weeks - gonna get repainted again and looking for a rear lip that flows well with the OEM optional sides

any suggestions are welcome but please post a pic of the lip
here is the car from the side and rear so you know what it will look like- i would REALLY like the OEM sides but they dont fit 95 bumper and i am adamant about keeping the 94-97 look (dont wanna upgrade that)

I thought of the Topfuel lip but i dont know how that would flow-? ideas?
topfuel looks like this:



thanks

Only thing that flows well with the oem sides are oem rears imo.

Anything else would look out of place

B your are just tyring to show off your car again... hhaa-- YES i am flapping the mirrors in the pic- jdm bling!

i do like the WW but looking for something DIFFERENT - not used so often, such as the oems, or top fuel or etc

as far as 98 front--- i prefer my 94-97 front, and

the 94-97 front actually looks really good with the jdm si-vtec lip and the si-vtec fogs

I had a Top Fuel rear skirt on my teg and it won't look right on yours because it will be extend out wider than your OEM optional side skirts. I had WW sides so it matched up nicely.

not worried about fiberglass-- sand it, prime it- dry it, spray it = color match
on the rear it wont be breaking either

doesnt the aztec look rigif to you guys? like it does flow well with the curves of the OEM sides

and dFreezy = i did mean rears - thanks

if the top fuel is Wider will it really not look that great- i kow the top fuel sides just out a bit but i didnt think that much over OEM opts.

how does this look - the rear hangs a bit lower than the side- not a perfect match but close right?
