Feed or 99 Spec Front Bumper?

I am stuck between these 2 front bumpers need a little community help on choosing.

1. Feed Front (sold by rx7store.net)
2. 99 Spec Front whole kit

Which one does everyone prefer? I like both so I just need some little help. Thanks!

I personally like the FEED bumper because it looks like the '99 spec but a little more aggressive. I still think the '99 spec is really nice, but it looks a little too much like it's smilling at me.

That "Feed Front (sold by rx7store.net)" is actually a replica (go ahead and check ).

Personally, I like the '99 front. IMO it looks better (elegant in a simple way), and OEM always fits right.

if you go with the feed, make sure its the real feed bumper, not the replica. the replica doesnt fit on right, but the 1 feed makes does. either 1 is nice, ive been debating between these to ever since i got the car.

Anyone not like the hole in the side of the feed front end? Other than that its really nice. Damn the 99 spec looks nice but the front plate holder destroys the lines. If you shave the plate off it looks like it is smiling. I wonder if you could fill in the hole in the feed and then add a 99 spec lip below the feed bumper ...that would look nice

99 Spec. Aftermarket front ends will go out of style or get played out.

So your saying stock wont?

Then why are a lot of people changing from the 93-98 bumpers to anything else.

OEM goes out too, maybe not as quick your right, but it does...

If you're going feed, I would say you have to add a bit more subtle touches to make it fit the car, whereas 99spec would look nice by itself.

If you want it to look like a kit car, get the feed. I prefer a stock look (as much as possible, including painted CF) myself.

i would go feed but i would go with the type 2r front end. as well as the feed cf sideskirts and feed wing with cf flap very very nice look to all of that and you would be unique and not like everyone else with 99 spec. just my two cents.

Where would you go about getting a OEM 99 spec kit? Cuz i need tail lights and a front bumper and I might as well go 99 spec but I have no idea were to start looking for 99 spec parts.
