-Rob
talk to Silver93TT about that. he got the 99 spec front end put on his car without the license plate holder. i dont quite remember exactly how they did that, somethin like they cut it off and filled it in with some sort of material and it looks really good. pm him if you want to hear more

That is Dimcorner's FD with the Pettit. Her works pretty close with Pettit. I have to say that the front end didn't match very well, BUT he does have one of the earlier versions. Ask him about the current versions on it.

I'm actually happier with the fitment of my Feed Style Bumper as opposed to his Pettit bumper.

I got my Sideskirts from ebay. No one that I know of sells them in the US. Sorry

Both of those cars are very hot. I personaly think th e99 spec looks better when sitting side by side. Great pic BTW. I'm jealous.

Someone selling FEED on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ndexURL=0&rd=1

I noticed that someone is selling the feed bumper with the combo lights on ebay. No bids now but you can buy it now for 850 + 30 bucks shipping. I guess it really depends what the reserve is, but that's not a bad price.

I wonder if you still need the reinforcement.

like stated above that is NOT a feed bumper. thats a bumper made by some company (cant remember their name) thats made to look like the 99 spec one with the lip moulded into the bumper. you can purchase one brand new for about $300 or sumthing like that. just another ebay ripoff

Kris, you know the RE flares you are getting are only for looks right? You can't really put on larger wheels. BTW, I have a surprise for you. You will find out in about 5 days. BTW, email me some pix of your car. I want to put those on my website if that's ok with you. Actually for everyone that got the FEED replica, please send me photos after it's painted if you don't mind.

That is one large *** IC. Very nice IMO.
I saw that Feed Replica on ebay in person. Thats Madjae. I bought my Mazdaspeed CF replica from him.
Does anyone have the link to that MB autosport site? I used to have it.There parts are really cheap. Good for racing and drifting I suppose. You can **** it up and not feel bad about it.

lol, this is jack. sorry about the confusion chuck but i musta confused ya since i used my brothers credit card to purchase the bumper and hood from ya. my credit card has been long overdrawn, im in a nice lil hole right now and i havent stopped digging yet

r u sure that the flares dont allow for wider tires? ive attached a pic that shows that they widen the rear by quite a bit so im guessin that u can fit wider tires

THE HOOD IS ON ITS WAY!!! fawkin sweet
ill definately send you some pics... i just need to get the car back from the shop
