I personally like the 99 front end with the OEM skirts and the 93-95 spoiler. I think it flows much better IMO even though it isn't functional.
And that hood never came on a 99 spec FD. No vented hood ever came on an OEM FD IIRC. Isnt that a mazdaspeed or knight sports hood? Can't remember exactly what type it is.

Pretty much everything.
But the cost vs. value is very steep. So unless I cook my turbos and go with 99 specs or whichever ones have abradable seals, it aint' happening. The larger air openings in the 99 spec front are also nice for tracking the car, but I'm not sure how many parts you have to replace in order to get the ducting sealed up like it should be.

Since you mention a '99, I'd love to see someone retrofit the mysterious "black box" onto an earlier series 3rd gen 
(For those who are unfamiliar w/ it, mazda redid/simplified the vacuum hoses on the 99s, all of 'em contained in this little black box hehe. See this thread for more info: https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...ight=black+box)

PS: Mike, 7_rocket is correct. That's a Mazdaspeed hood, not an OEM 99spec hood. They were all unvented. You may want to consider some 17" 99spec wheels too (Hit me up if you're interested...)

(Hit me up if you're interested...)Beat me to it. Looks like way too much work though.
And I do love the '99 spec 17" wheels, but too rich for my blood when I can get a new set of 17x9 5zigen FN01R-C's for less than a CLEAN set of the '99 spec'ers.

I just want something simple....
I want the 99 spec hatch struts that help prop up the hatch with the heavier 99 spec wing.
IF ANYONE IS GOING TO JAPAN OR ENGLAND ORDER ME A SET!!!

And no, they aren't rare, which is why I keep my eye open for a good deal on the OEM wheels. Although my wallet needs a break for a while lol.
Anyway, sorry I took this a bit offtopic.
