What do I need for new bumper?
If I get the 99 spec bumper will there be anything else besides the bumper that I would need. Is there anything from the old one I need?
Thanks!

i think you need to reuse the mounting brackets from your old bumper. ( the metal parts thats riveveted on).

Check out a thread on the GB section over at nopistons a few of us got together and bought a replica 99 spec bumper. Other topics in that thread include what is required to mount it.

you'll need to modify the rebar.

I just installed a mazdaspeed front bumper and i just removed the stock rebar all together. I know its not the best thing to do but it was a lot easier mounting and fitting the bumper.

you'll probably have problems with the bumper sagging over time since you removed it, will sag really quickly when it drags on inclines.
