99 spec buper addition: air guide

https://www.rhdjapan.com/home/produc...roduct_id=3435

I don't know if this part already comes with the kits but I saw it and thought somebody out here might want it or it might actually be beneficial. Just read the part description on the right.

Good find! Those ARE NOT included in kits. Most kits only include:front bumper, rebar, combo lights, and lip. What they forget to mention for a full conversion, is the 99 undertray, air guide, and oil cooler ducts.

There was a thread with someone who used this. It's supposedly exactly the same as the stock one, just without the bottom part.

Um, yeah, it is. The air guide basically seals up the large space between the '99 bumper and the bumper support. Otherwise, without it, you may have a nice looking bumper, but most of the air going into the radiator nacelle will just escape upward into the area in front of the bumper support.

Correct! I bought the '99 spec one because my original '93 air guide was busted. They are EXACTLY the same except for the bottom part.

Spend 30 seconds cutting off the bottom part and save yourself 60 bucks.
