Who would want a 99 Spec replica front end?

Very often I get asked about the 99 Spec front end, and I wonder, if we made one, who'd want one. It'd be somewhere around $150-200 in FRP.

You might as well incorporate the lip into it too that way when painted it looks better...

their are plenty of plateless oem 99 spec replicas being produced.

I would make a direct replica of the 99 spec meaning with the plate.

There are alot of plateless bumpers out there but there fit and finish are an issue, but if you could provide a good fitting bumper they would sell because thats the issue that everybody has with the aftermarket ones out there.
