nah, the feed type i uses the old signal lights and looks more like the feed type ii... i think that is in fact a lip of some sort but i'm not sure which one. it's not a modified mbautosports 99 w/ grafted veilside lip either because it has a front license plate holder.

Racing beat perhaps?

I'm telling you guys that is a FEED front maybe a replica but definitely FEED.

(i am also having the outside and inside door handles and front and rear "triangles" made out of carbon fiber.
Speaking of CF lips, RE Amemiya makes a CF lip that fits the '99 front, it's almost stock looking but raises a bit in the middle. The only pic of it I've seen is from RE's site. hey TpCpLaYa, you have any more???? Here's the RE pic:
