Looking for an R1 lip? Some info....
Hey guys,
was ordering some parts from "Sprayin' Ray" Crowe at Malloy Mazda, and he told me that, get this........he is blowing out R1 front lips for $105 per pair, shipped! Insane. I may get one for the inevitable day when my 99 spec is too trashed to keep on the car
. Anyway, just thought I would pass along a great deal--I think he has a bunch available.

$105 per pair-so does this mean 2 r1 lips for $105 or the 2 pieces that make up the r1 lip for $105? and this is the 93-95 r1 lip, not the 99 spec right? will the 93-95 r1 lip fit on the 99 spec front bumper?

Just got off the phone with Ray - picked mine up for $106 shipped!
Thanks for posting this Rich, I have been wanting to buy one for a while, but didn't want to spend $200+ for it.

fwiw: the R-1 was 93 only model, 94-95s are R-2 spec with a smaller rear roll bar and slightly softer than R-1 shocks

. Anyway, just thought I would pass along a great deal--I think he has a bunch available.That site called mazdapartscheap.com, had them listed for $110. A guy on here back in late Nov posted, asking if it was legit. Everyone was understandably interested. It arrived, and it was legit, and a whole bunch of orders piled in to that site - I ordered 2.
My order was cancelled (one of many) because the guy said he only had a few in stock and even pulling from all the ones warehoused in the US, was still very sold out. He said several weeks minimum for backorder from Japan.
So I immediately called Ray - he was able to reserve the last two in the country at his rate - just over $100. Up to this point, Ray said the part number for the lip assembly (both halves) was never available, and when I had him look it up, he's like "well hell I want a couple too!! That cool!". Up to that point, the only way he could get them was by each half separately for $170 total.
So now it appears Mazda is stocking the lip assembly, and the price is much cheaper than buying the halves separately. I suspect Mazda noticed the stock of lip pieces getting thin, and had a whole bunch made, and for a lower price than before. Just check availability - I don't know if Mazda Japan has replenished US stock.
BTW, what exactly is Ray Sprayin?

The hardware is like 8 10mm bolts that hold the bottom molding to the front bottom part of the bumper. You will simply remove the 10mm bolts slide out what you have exisiting and slide the new R1 lip in place of it. Its real simple.

There are also brake ducts that go with the R1/R2 lip that non R1/R2 models do not have. Not sure how much they cost. You could probably make your own out of sheet metal if you are resourceful...
