Has anyone ever put an R1 lip on a '99 bumper?

 

Thanks rynberg, i now know which to go with.... And are they paintable? The 99 is what im referring. I always see some that are painted to match the car.

 

Yes you can paint them.

 

You'll have to use flexible paint. I also think body color lips look like ***.

 

 

Personal taste aside, they take a beating from rocks, curbs and parking stops and that black plastic will show through. There's a reason MAZDA left them black.

 

the 99 lip doesnt not fit on the 93-95 bumper

 

Gee, tell that to the hundreds of people doing just that!

 

Unless he meant the 93-95 lip doesnt fit on the 99 bumper? idk

 

The 99 lip FITS on the 93-95 bumper, but looks stupid.

93-95 bumper w/ r1 lip = sex

 

I have never seen one that fits right, sorry for not being specific enough, it like buying a cool aftermarket hood that fits like ****, just shouldnt be on an FD

 

 

I ran a 99 lip on a 93 bumper for years. the fitment is 95% fine.....there are 2 small pieces that stick out a bit, that's the only way you can discern any kind of 'off' fitment. I thought it looked good, was a nice change from my R1 lip *shrug*

 

I ran a 99 lip on my 95 front...I love the front view, side and rear looking forward annoyed the **** out of me. I now have a R2 lip.
