Figured I'd jump on the bandwagon and go with a 99 Spec front lip spoiler. I got it from RX7Store.Net, nice people...they matched a price for me so I got it a bit cheaper than their advertised retail price - Thanks Guys! I also figured I could have this lip to go along with my 99 Spec turbo's I already have on the car.

I don't know how the pictures will show up, but obviously Before pics come first...Enjoy!

Kind of a dreary day out today and I haven't washed the car in a while so just mind that.

Thanks guys, I had an old car with that I put 18" wheels on so I had those stockers. Basically that car was totalled and I got a new FD, so I ended up with 2 sets of stockers. I figured I'd experiment with a set and the black ones above is what the end result was. I like them...of course I'd love to have some HRE's, but who wouldn't?

OEM R1 lip > 99-spec on a base w/no wing. -jk- and no offense, but it flows with the body/bumper lines, imho. The 99-spec looks like a sharp-edged aftermarket jutting Jay Leno chin.

I'm glad someone shares my view on this. '99 lip just looks odd on anything pre-99.

Wow, your car is one of the cleanest i have seen. Its amazing what a brand new R1 lip does to the look of the car. The whole car looks brand new. Nice job.

rogue...

The 99 spec lip looks much better in person.

In pictures, it looks like it doesnt really fit the body lines of the car. It adds a perfect (and much needed) agressive touch to the front bumper.

xstacy7,

Welcome to the club... The 99spec lip is a really nice touch... It adds some edge to the overall car.

The thing I'm very interested in was your wheels! I didn't think the stock wheels could look so good... I keep mine really clean... People say I painted them white.. but it's just the cleanliness... I really like the 2 tone paint on the wheels... I think I might try it out... Thanks for the pics!!

Lates,
