They are the entire handle. Not a stick on. It even comes with the little plastic clips that hold the handle lever rods in.

looks very nice. as for spoiler it's up to you. for the love of GOD keep it stock or at least small. i'm not a fan of the 99 ones but they're not bad. i still think the stock spoiler we got is the best looking

Ask Tony for pics of his car if you want to see your car with a '99 spoiler.

Nice looking FD, I'd leave it spoilerless


So then I noticed that your engine bay pic didn't have the torque brace, but listed in your mods. And also there is an aftermarket AST, which isn't listed in the mods....... Could that engine bay be a FAKE!! hehe jk jk.... Great looking car man.

I think it's abso-*******-lutely gorgeous! I really like the way the white side marker lights look on black cars.

I noticed the lack of torque brace too, what gives? Was that pic taken before the mod? Or are you lying to us....

Steve, your car looks sexier than ever. I would like some more pics from the back as well. As for the spoiler, I would go with the 99spec, or the stock 93+ R1 spoiler. Either way, you cannot go wrong.

Beautiful car, and I can't wait to see it up close.

Your FD looks fine the way it is. If you're planning on getting a '99spec spoiler you must buy the '99 front end as well. That spoiler wouldn't look right on your ride. By the way, beautiful FD.

Here is a quick edit of the 99spec spoiler on the car. I think it looks great.

If cash isnt an issue get a feed (replica) wing from rotary extreme. (do they still have them????) Looks VERY clean, not many have them, and fits the lines of the car. A lot of people love their wingless FD's so if i were you id go feed if possible. Plus isnt the center section CF? would compliment the door handles nicely. Just my .02

leave it spoilerless IF you don't plan on putting a body kit on the car. if you want to keep the stock look then 93 R1 spoiler or nothing. i don't like the 99 spoiler on 93-95 models, looks out of place IMO

I think it looks great like it is. Well, except for those hideous clear side marker things. I can't believe people pay money for those things.

Yeah thats the original paint and yes the feed handles are expensive, but with what I was looking at for new handles it wasnt that much more expensive.

The arm rest was a must do, my arms with their length would always hit the stock ash tray in a horrid position that would bother me constantly. Now I hace a nice coushion
