That's not a 99 spec front end. That's an mbautosport.com front end.

RX7 RAGE is correct.

That's "manatecu"s car above with the same mbautosport.com's FEED Style front end.

Isn't that front end worth like 250 bucks?

I would assume for that price that the quality would be very bad, but I haven't heard anything about it though. But I am still curious. Has anybody heard about the quality?

Yep, is around $250. Manatecu said the fitment was great. However, that could vary from one shipment to another. I would say though that even if the fitment is not 100% perfect, spending a little extra $$$ at the body shop will still put you a little in front of some of the other front ends.

Yep, I only spend $250 on it and the fit was almost perfect. It needed a little sun and sanding.

Personnally I will never do business with MB again. They screwed me over $30 - admitted to it and refused to give me my money back due to business policy. Check it out (the little print) they have some messed up policies.

The front actually has no stress marks and has help up under my driving which is not slow. Warning the front end is very very low. I have had my feeling hurt several times.

Only buy if you are willing to get screwed. My opinion.

im willing to risk $30 its nothing compared to how cheap the bumper is anyway, as long as the fit is ok i dont mind, i can live with it being low as with my apexi exhaust i cant go over bumps anyway

Why do they say its like FEED? It looks nothing like it. It looks like a 99spec bumper with the plate shaved and a wacky lower lip

Can anyone with the MB autosport front tell me if it would be possible to "cut" off the built-in lip and attach a 99-spec lip?


BTW, I visited their shop several months ago, and they are the biggest goof-offs I have ever seen.... basically a bunch of kids with parents' $$$ to start up a shop. I had to argue for ~30 min that the "GT-C" spoiler they had advertised was really a 15th ann. wing

Damn, that's a new one on me...well looks like they'll be missing out on some business from me b/c I really liked that front end. I guess the cost shows how much it is to actually make it compared to the others where they raise the price through the roof (my take on it anyways). That's a shame that damn kids taken over the shop

It's thin as hell, I bang it up all the time but my car is pretty damn low. But in my opinion it looks the best, especially with my hood, and it practically (relatively) disposable when comparing the $250 to $2000 some of these go for. I'm on my 3rd....Since someone's insurance whose fault it was once paid me $750 for the stock one, I guess that justifies those three
