i think the original GT-C front piece looks the best, take a look at Hedgehog's car (try searching for posts by him his car is in his avatar IIRC).



it's got style, it's got function, it's got it all https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Ya they look kinda close Im not sure if i like it with no back peice but it looks very good but im not into those side skirts either..........Bad ass looking car though and i think it would flow well on my black car but kinda 2 99ish stock looking 4 me...........

Silver Ninety Three 01-07-2003 01:48 AM

GTC front? Hmm, I like the 99 better, cleaner looking. Both are nice though. Problem almost everything except the 99 is fiberglass. I do have one suplier of body kits that are some special flexible fiberglass. They make very nice replicas and are affordable. Let me know if you're interested. http://www.importfan.com/manufacturer.asp?2=1144

ny one else help me on what to do how bout that ww front lip?????????

Racer X 01-07-2003 09:06 PM

That ww lip looks like the Racing Beat lip.Not a bad upgrade for the money tho.I love the 99 spec or GTC fronts.But to each is own.Every person will have thier own opinion on this matter.Choose what you like and stick with it.

vudoodoodoo 01-07-2003 09:08 PM

99 spec front, auto exe kit, or the border kit.

Silver Ninety Three 01-07-2003 10:19 PM

The stock body is pretty good. I think the front turn signals are outdated though. That is why I upgraded to the 99 front. I haven't found a pair of sideskirts I like though.

PoMan Ferrari 01-08-2003 10:11 AM

The 99 is nice but it has that fugly license plate mount.

Everything else is fiberglass and unless you're the best fg fabricator, they all look like wavy ass ****, especially if you have a dark color. That waviness ruins the line

of the FD. And they all crack due to the stress of driving.



The FG or CF hood; they look like **** too with the waviness screwing up the light reflecting off the paint.



If I were to get any kit at all, it would only be the 99 without sideskirts or a WWII B-29 wing in the back.

1Revvin7 01-08-2003 12:20 PM

I like the Cwest front bumper, actually that first pic looks pretty nice! Stock 99's look great, especially the one w/o the license plater molding.

JT-Imports 01-08-2003 01:41 PM

IMHO there are too many nice ones out there.



Just pick one that fits you. Like dont get one that hangs

low if you have to go up and down sharp grade hills all the

time.



Also if you pick one every one else likes, styles will change and

so will peoples opinion. So unless you want to change your

bumper every year or 2 then get what you like man

Another option that you might consider is the 15th anniversery mazdaspeed fender flares. i like the way they look. you can find them at rotormotorsports.com for $689. there are more pics at rotaryextreme.com

I think you should at least go with the 99 front end. I think it looks closest to stock if you like that look. Plus it is supposed to solve some of the air flow probs the pre 99 had. Which I think would be good for you since you have a smic. There are also some front ends that have the vent in the top of the bumper to flow to that area.



Does the 15th anniversary flares alow for wider tires?

Are the 99 kits the only eurathane(did i spell that right)ones?

steve 01-10-2003 10:11 PM

yes the flares alow wider tires
