There WAS a group buy with Rotaryextreme for erethane 99's with no plate holders, but it recently ended. Check with Chuck and see what he can do for you.

The 99 Spec front end is going to look funky with those C-West lights!

The group buy for the bumper has already been closed. After group buy, you can purchase them through our dealers and us at retail prices of $600-650 which will be determined shortly. If you are on East Coast, you might want to get them through RX7 Store since shipping will be cheaper for you.

Mine came with the aluminum brace, but it's OEM. I don't think any of the knockoffs would come with one.

Yes, all the 93-95 aluminum brackets fit perfectly onto the 99 front skin. I simply bought the original 13 rivets from the dealer.

Even if you could, would it even be close to matching?
Answer: Probably not, the original paint fades over time especially Vintage Red which usually by this time becomes Vintage Pink.

I know the 99 spec spoilers come pre-painted, but not sure if they are the exact same color or red (probably not) so there may be hope for you. You would want to paint it anyways and have it blended to match as close to possible as the current paint.
