93blackFD, my good buddy Brian Thompson, has had the strut bar ends (among a few other minor parts like an AST) for oh, about 8 months now. Sent him a bunch of stuff to be "powdercoated" and didnt get it all back. Real nice. And the kicker is, 3 unanswered PMs and he has me blocked on aol IM. Brian, grab your ***** to remind yourself that you are a man, and get in touch with me please .
Ok, back to your regularly scheduled thread complete with shiny-*** 7s.

In contrast they do sell some good ones, and the paint does finish very well. You do get what you pay for though, they aren't of course going to be as good as a urethane made one. The problem is they are more prone to chipping, and breakage.

But, I gotta say if someone's on a budget, and can do body work themselves (or cheap), a replica may very well be the way to go. We all know Mazda's prices are outrageous just cuz...lol.
I don't know if VIS Racing ever made a 99spec front replica outta polyfiber (weave of fiberglass and polyfiber, which is better than any stock urethane stuff you can buy IMO...my entire bodykit is made of it), but if not, then you're gonna have to settle for a fiberglass replica. I'm sure Brandon @ RX7Trix can help you out (www.rx7trix.com). But I personally would never put fiberglass on my car, simply cuz it'll get trashed and crack in NO time...

Rich, your car still looks awesome though. One of the cleanest VRs for sure.
