AL Aftermarket front lips for FD please :)

Not sure if this has been a butchered topic but I haven't seen much for an aftermarket front lip that doesn't cost $400+ international shipping. Any interest besides my own for a replica autoexe, uras, odula or re-amemiya front lip like you see for sale on rhdjapan? FRP or Carbon shine product would be awesome! Don't get me wrong the 99spec front lip is great and all but a few more options doesn't hurt.

If $400 for a front lip is a major expense, did you mean to buy one of these RX7's?: https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/

Haha! =)

Well it isn't that terrible but I think the lip takes the most abuse out of anything else body wise. Pot holes, lowered, road debris, small animals, and everyones favorite - curbs/parking barriers. $400 is closer to frp price range for some of those lips. Carbon gets into $600-700 then you have to pay to ship. I guess my only arguement here is why pay more when you have a company like Shine that makes quality copies who could easily reproduce said manufacturer lips that's all.

Agreed the URAS lip in FRP from rhdjapan is like $600 shipped :\ I could practically buy a completely different bumper from shine and such for that much...

I've looked into these, and the cost along is one barrier, but the fact that it's going to get abused is another. If these could be replicated in urathane, nylon, ABS, or something else that would actually hold up, I'd pay that $400-$600 for one.

I've been trying to source a Mazdaspeed one, which has been discontinued for a long time. When I was in Japan late last year, I saw one on an FD and estatic . But apparently they are rare in Japan as well.

I would be down for an AutoEXE, URAS GT, or GP Sports front lip spoiler for the Kouki bumpers in carbon fiber!

Some of those bumpers are completely aftermarket and the bumper is apart of the lip. 1 piece.

The AutoExe and Uras are detachable from the front bumper, just like the stock lip. And they look sexy as!

I've be curious about this for a long time, but is this a 99 spec bumper? Most of the plateless ones I see look a bit different, but it looks fantastic to me.

At the moment we only offer 99 Spec OE style (1-piece design) and a rare Mazdaspeed style. Any other recommendations we should consider with serious interest? Seems like Uras is a good candidate.

What about Autoexe?
I have a carbon fiber one that I can donate.
Its cracked at the middle but I think it can be repaired.
