God that looks great! Can hardly wait until I get mine - same lip, same turning lamps, same color car - like looking at my car in the future. (But paint job looks alot nicer).

Just wondering if there's a little gap remaining on the lip by the duct, and does it fit perfectly by the wheel well?

I know they made ones that fit nicer than mine since mine doesn't fit exactly.

Yyes there is a gap by the wheel and by the openings, nothing major though.

I got my lip from RX7store. Also that is the Sharkmouth Mod, I painted mine black though. It was fairly easy to install just a little cracking on the lower lip (paint that is)

I love the '99 lip.
I hear it is harder to install due to additional drilling?
What's you opinion on the difficulty of the installation?

It didn't take that long to drill the holes. Just line up the holes on your old lip (I had the R1 lip previously) and just drill.. It took me about 30mins.. Probably take you less if your nuts/bolts weren't rusted and gone to **** like mine.

Yes, it flexes the bottom of the bumper. Worth it? Depends on what you use your car for... If you only drive it on the street, it's not going to do anything for you..

nice, offtopic, is there a jackpoint towards the front of the car so I can just lift up the front end? I want to get both sides up on jackstands to help with the lip install tonight.

You can use the support in front of the oil pan. Just make sure NOT to jack up on the oil pan.
