Oh..... I dont think its 99spec, lookes pretty good though. I have seen it somewhere i just cant remmeber where.

RE-Amemiya and mazdaspeed make the 99spec lip too, but pretty $$$ due to its shape.

from experience the Mazdaspeed looks better in person, I gave a RE-Amemiya 99spec CF lip away at SS6.

yup...that's my lip and other parts that he has...

Great guy and service, just too damn busy! I bought my 99 spec parts in a group buy...everything was pristine except for the lip which turned out great as I wanted to CF it....

he wet sands and keeps polishing the stuff...it looks great!

I think if you search, skunks or someone else did a CF to the lip...

Are any of these CF lips made w/ some sort of flexible resin? If the CF makes them stiff and brittle, it would sort of defeat the pupose... might as well just get a FG bumper.

hmmm

good question...

I can ask Mark...I told him I autocross and ask him about the durability of "hitting cones" with the bling bling CF lip...

*not that I hit cones THAT often

I think he is on vacation until June but will send him a email.

In regards to the door handles...I believe you have to send him your core...just send him a email and he will let you know the time frame....when I was finally ready to send him my parts....it was about a month before he started...

I agree.. but most people just want it for looks..

I wouldn't get it.. Its going to chip like ****.. after 2-3K miles, its not going to look pretty.. Unless you drive like grandma and only drive to go play Bingo once a week..
