Being that I'm doing some changes/repairs on the car. I am unhappy with the fiberglass bumper as even with normal driving (with the roads in louisiana) my FEED bumper cracks more than I'd like.
I am considering going with a oem 99 spec because I want a URETHANE bumper and this is the only choice besides oem 93.
Thoughts?
The rest of the FEED kit stays btw.

I'm partial to the 99 spec for obvious reasons, but I must say that I totally loved your car the way it was. I say stay with FEED and deal with the cracking... and yea, I know easier to say that when it's someone else's money paying for fixing the cracks.

i (non FD owner..) have always thought the 99 spec looks better than any body kit.

DOes Shineautoproject make any Feed parts? That would be a compromise. Feed and urethane.

I say have a urethane feed bumper made. Shine should be able to handle it

I wonder if that is an option.

Nope!! Shine can't do Urethane... Even when Chuck from RE did urethane bumper, it was too thick.. it needed too much work to get it smoothed out and not worth it.
Go with 99 if you want to drive the car..

I think the 99spec would be out of place on your car. I think the feed looks amazing on there and I dont really think any other bumper would look right. Go back with the feed and just deal with the cracking. :)

Can't you get a 99 Spec knockoff with the front plate holder removed like Garfinkles'?
I am pretty sure they aren't too bad, when you can find them.

If you cant do urethane then I say go back with the FEED fiberglass no other bumper will look as good.

I voted FEED because it was definitely bringing the sexy.

I'm leaning to FEED because of the cost... I can buy 2 Feeds and have one kept pristine for shows... and still be cheaper than OEM 99 spec.
The other thing is, I love the FEED lenses.
