Thumbs up

The Mazdaspeed GT-C is probably your best bet.
Here is a link to mine.

You might consider the C-West front bumper too...

Any of them except for a stock bumper unless you like a lot of cutting. Any after market bumper is usually made for big front mount ICs. You still may have to do some cutting or maybe just a little sanding.

IMHO C-west played out, FEED pretty nice, Sexy Style-Sexy, RE-Amemiya-cool etc......................

A few experiences here...the FEED works well with the GReddy front mount but the newer GReddy coolers do require LOTS of trimming of the front bumper. I'm sure they all do. It's my guestimation that the GTC is better than the FEED in terms of overall duct size. Also, the 99-spec bumper has a larger opening than the FEED. Go figure. Whatever you do, put some mesh in there to keep your IC looking and working like new.

Love your avitar WanKeL. I've always wanted to put a "Your Honda Sucks" bumper sticker on the 7, but they'd probably key my car if I did.

there are 2 RE n1 bumpers. the old one is not so good. the difference would be the oil cooler ducts. they have been redesigned on the newer one.

Older version of the N1 doesnt have a radiator inlet.

The newer version of the oil ducts can be used on the older version.

PFS

I know there are alot of PFS haters out there but they do offer some nice, conservative aero parts with plenty of functional airflow for your cooling devices.

Has anybody got a greddy 3 row to fit in a 99 spec bumper? i have a 3 row behind the stock bumper and the bumper looks like sh*t, mainly becuase it wasnt done worth a damn.
Any have a pic, just wondering?
