'99 J-spec

I need to replace my front bumper cover, and was looking into kits. I've decided that I really like the '99 J-spec kit, especially the turn lamps. But I'm not sure I want to give up the stock look other than those turn signals, and I really can't afford $1500. Are there any alternatives? Help me, it's been a week and I'm sure the insurance company is getting antsy.

Thank you

you can look into some knockoffs. www.mbautosport.com sells some knockoff 99 front ends with knockoff veilside lower lips grafted onto the bottom for only $250.

for $1250 LESS, you could get the same looking front end.

What kind of disadvantages come with that, and also, how much would the lights be?

Thanks

well, it's fiberglass, not urethane, so it would be a bit more fragile.

not sure how much the lights are.

It looks pretty cool...but where is that company located? I might want to order from them.

FD2Blk- I believe that part of the 99 spec front bumper kit is on back order in Japan! Could be a couple months! You might want to look into some other front end kits that use those combination lights, like the newer C-West kit, or the Feed kit, or Mazdaspeed ... Good Luck!
