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

93-95 bumper w/ r1 lip = sex

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*
