I noticed you finished up your polishing job too Steve- nice. What did you think of the 99spec edit?

Nice and clean. I agree with some of the past comments, keep it clear of a spoiler.

You know... all you need is one thing. An Aftermarket IC, any will do and the engine bay will be sweet and complete. As for the rest of the car, I love it. Yeah the 99spec would look nice but without a wing it looks good too. Whats the cushiony armrest? Is that an OEM/aftermarket/ or custom job. I have the same problem with my ashtray...

My rating = 9/10.

That's one clean FD you have there. I like the clear side markers on it, I think it goes very well with the car. About the '99 spec wing, IMO it looks very good especially on a black FD.

well, my parents were nice enough to actually purchase it for me and have me pay them back instead of me paying a bank back incase I slipped or somthing I wouldnt get my car reposessed. So Im paying my parents back. Right now im working at a valet service, at a few points I was working two jobs to pay for the car and mods and start my new engine fund which anyone can donate too!

Here is the stock 93-95 R1 spoiler edited from my car on it. I couldn't match your color/shade perfectly, but you get the idea...



I really think you should go for either spoiler, as it will match the front spoiler.

hey, where exactly are you located, Nearby Suburb? I remember back in the day when you were looking for you car and damn that thing has turned out nice. Very very nice. I like the clear markers and they are original in my eyes. Match the front signals and even the badge. For spoiler id say either 99 spec or leave it wingless. In the end it IS up to you so have fun deciding....lol. But again nice ride.

I live in Glenview, north of chicago a bit by skokie, northbrook, niles, golf, by old orchard and northbrook court mall. You know where Im talking about? Im probably gonna go 99 spec, but It probably wont be for a while . Im not exactly made of money... ever

your car looks great, and is definitely one of the cleanest black FD's I've ever seen!

I had the same problem, as my car did not come with a rear spoiler. I loved the way it looked, until I lowered the car and changed the wheels. I added a 93 R1 spoiler, and it really helped.

Good luck, and congrats on a beautiful ride

i think he means just upgrade the suspension over what you got.

Also yea i know pretty much where your located. Im over in Mt.Prospect/Arlington Heights/Rolling Meadows, that area. lol big area i know but im all over there. 99 spec would look good with your car. Might i suggest something liek the CF one. Forgot whos making them or if they are replicas or what and if there cheaper or not.(long sentence) But i think that it would look verry good with your car, on the same line as the Feed one. But it all depends on the $$$

Your car looks great! I love the black ones when they're well cared for and the paint is shiny. I think a wing would look really nice. I know a lot of people prefer the way it looks without a wing, but I think the car looks naked without one.

I think you should put a spoiler on it. I like the side markers. I wanted to see what they would look like on a black car and I think there will be another black seven with clear markers on it.
