The body shop accidentally ordered me this lip and painted it even though I asked them not to. It is brand new from Mazda and I paid $290.00 for it. It is painted red and has a nice finish. It has never been installed. Make me an offer.







Thanks,

Do you know of any pics so I could see what it looks like installed?



Where are you located?



Thanks,

To all,



Charlie's a great guy. Met him at a meet this past Saturday in Columbus. He's from Cincinatti Ohio.



We talked for a couple hours, and I would have no hesitation buying from him. He's very meticulous and has one of the best examples of a clean FD I have ever seen.

Dennis,



Yes I'd love one. But:



1) I would have no place to mount my front plate (1 ticket for that is enough)



2) My next mods are very carefully planned out:

A) Upgraded fuel pump

B) Wideband O2

C) DataLoggit



Sooooo as much as I like the R1 front lip, it's just not in the cards right now. Very tempting though

Wow thanks for the endorsements Dennis and Tom. I am located in Cincinnati, Ohio. If you would like to stop by and look at the lip just let me know. I don't have any pictures of a painted one on a car (They were left black from the factory). I am still on the fence about selling it. The reasons I'm thinking about getting rid of it are because 1. my car is lowered and with the lip I would have to back into my driveway, and 2. because I just found out the restaurant I work at is closing this Sunday so any extra money helps. So, if this is something you're interested in please feel free to talk with me and make an offer.



Thanks,

-Charlie

Really? a Carbon fiber 99 spec? Any idea on how much he is going to charge? I had a 99 sepc painted red on my car before my accident. I would definitly look into that once I get another job.
