83 bumper on 79
Really interested in the front lip posted in an earlier thread, but it appears like it will not fit a '79. So, has anyone fitted an 81 or later front bumper onto a '79-80 RX7? If so, how did it fit?

Too bad about the fenders. I doubt I would get fenders as good as the ones I have. Car is prety much mint, other than the fact it is black, not the original copper color.

This is my SA with a '83 front and rear bumper. I replaced the the front bumper and bumper strut cartriges. I trimmed the bottom of the FB bumper to fit over the Kamei Spoiler.
The front fenders are SA bumpers. The bumper is a direct fit, the only issue is that there are no brackets to hold the sides of the bumper skin. The Fb fenders do have that, but I have had this setup on the car for 6-8 years and have done several track events with NASA and the SCCA and have't had any problems with it.

EPRX799, that looks pretty cool. nice conversion and by looking at the available spoiler, it should be doable. Here is my current front end. Just tired of the look after 30 plus years
