whoops - my bad! you have a pre-facelift car. not sure if the 02+ cup lip will work, it actually may work with a bit more trimming of the ends.
There are several members here with a smaller OEM add-on lip on their pre-facelift cars, it will help with downforce but it won't do too much for looks as it is fairly hidden. If you read through my DIY thread there should be some posts about it.

Thanks p0rsch3! I've noticed a "few" postings from you and like your input. Yeah, I want to do a double din (I like the 7100 too) along with other interior mods but they'll have to wait. From what I've gathered so far, the '99 is "unique" for stereo mods.

The exterior is priority 1 now and I do want something in the front that's more noticable. I like the GT3 cup front bumper myself, so I might have to just pony up and get it! I do want to drop the car too, but will need to save for that one. I'll definitely check out the KWv3's as I know your a big fan of 'em.

Daytrader shared a resource with me, and I stumbled across something that might appeal to you with the rear wing.

Thanks for the feedback Racersx- IMO you should do the suspension first as it really gives the car a nicer look. If your wheels are not out towards the fenders, add some H&R Track+ spacers from www.automotion.com - So, lowering on good suspension and bringing the wheels out will not only improve looks but give you a much improved ride while you are doing up the exterior. Whether you get pss9 / kw's / jic etc any of them will be a great step up and overall one of the most enjoyable mods you can do to the car.

Check out the taco Mk1 aero tail and see what you think. Most either love it or hate it.
