Well if you buy the real one, you get the covers, if you buy the knock off not pictured above, you make your own.

I'm fairly sure this bumper cover was around before '99 spec became available, which would mean you don't. Try and confirm this though before buying.

As said above you shouldn't as this was the first bumper mazdaspeed made for the FD3S... So it's an old old bumper.. However a.) I think it's probably fiberglass so you really don't need a reinforcment bar for support purposes and b.) if you really need to you can always cut the ends off of the reinforcement bar where the stock lights go, and that should make it fit.

This is an idea what the car may look like.
Now just looking for rims now. thinking about this one if I can change the center cap to the mazda one. I like them because they kind off look like NISMO rims ( Ilove the NISMO rims).

I think it has a major BUG eye look to it. Not my taste, but the bumper is very original.

I was specting a lot of good feed back since it kinda looks like the GT-C but I would have improve lighting. The only thing I don't like is the split in the middle of the center hole. I was thinking about getting it cut off.
