URAS front lips (both 99 spec and 93)

Thought these looked really really good. There is a model to fit the 93 bumper and a separate model to fit the 99.

Thus I posted in a Vendor's forum who makes quality copies. Maybe JKL could make some? The FRP is $520 shipped. That's not too much investment for a front lip that looks really really good.

I dont know but for some reason, it reminds me of this (the beard one)...



Except less dramatic of course.

EDIT:

Now that I've looked at it more, the lip is nice but now I can't get over how much the front of the 99 spec FD looks like an excited child.



The pre 99 looks like a surprised child.

Thats defintely more fitting. Its actually functionally fitting as well. The child in my pic looks a bit too surprised. If she closed her mouth a bit more it would fit much better.

but either way, I think the URAS lip is a more aggressive "up-to-date" piece of aero. Much more in line with other aero pieces out today rather than most of the kits / lips that looks like they were designed in 1995.

hahaha I wont argue with that retarded statement. I do disagree with the statement about the 99 spec lip looking similar. They look sooooo different. But come on, I am right about the front of the rx7 right? My first pic is especially spot on.

That lip looks quite a bit different than the 99 spec lip, I would spot the difference from down the road.

The 99 front looks better once you have a plate mounted, the ones that look smiley like are the 99 fronts with the plate-mounting boss removed (IMO of course).

One thing i've never liked about these high-end front lips----when you scrape or bump them, it's sad panda time
