You could install the 93 underbelly with 99 front. You would need to use some zip ties or something to hold it in place. Its not so bad but for better fit you would need to use the 99 underbelly.

But even with 99 underbelly, you would need to cut some parts to fit it under.

Also, I might take both of your 99 underbelly from you Jason! PM me and let me know what the shipping might be to 35210.

No you don't....................

What would you need to cut or trim? It mounts to all the same spots on the sub frame & has the same hole pattern as the 99 spoiler lip on the bumper.

Same story with the brake ducts. Direct bolt-on.

Do "YOU" actually have the complete 99 front end???? Or are you just guessing?



The R-Magic ducts look similar to the RE Ducts you have pictured. Except all the edges fit the contour of the oil cooler inlets on the 99 bumper & in fact overlap it by 1/2" or so (tight fit).

My '99 spec undertray fit fine with no cutting or drilling.

They do look very similar, I'm not too sure if there are any other differences. My old one was busted up and held together by duct tape or I would have tried to use it with my '99 front. And the '99 spec undertrays are cheaper than the USDM ones from mazdacomp.

The front corners of the '99 undertray are a little different.
I also had to cut my tray some, but that was because of the Tri-point sway bar.


No, I am not using the '99 bumper yet. But am using the '99 lower lip, under tray and L/R brake ducts. The lip fits up much better with the other '99 parts and looks better with the brake openings lining up with the ducting behind.

It looks like a small portion has been trimmed at the ends of the inner rib.

LOL! I'm just guessing..
Wait, I have 2 of them! Complete OEM 99s with underbellies, brake ducts, etc.. only thing missing are the oil cooler ducts.. but I'm about to install the RE version.


Maybe this is a 93 thing.. My swaybar area didn't fit correctly.

If you fitted them, I would like to see how you did it.. I'm going to get another underbelly and put it on.

Mine overlap in the same way, yet in some places they hang over 2” IIRC and on the driverside I had to extend the lip early ˝” to make it fit properly on the upper driverside corner.

What I am hoping is that you have a pic that shows the skin residing in the correct place as if the fiberglass ducting was not there.

Do these Rmagic FG ducts force the skin away from its natural position, or do they have the same problems as the RE ones?

Mine fit fine, but I do have AWR swaybar mounts. I think they retain the stock geometry though... I never compared them side by side to the stockers

-edit- I have a '93 also

I bent & cracked my stock sway bar mounts years ago...............

I have the David Breslau Widefoot Racing sway bars mounts now. They don't hang down as far as the stockers.The belly pan has lots of clearance there.

I said "guessing" because I didn't want to **** you off.

Instead of saying "or are you talking out your ***?" (normal responce by me, nothing personal)

IM trying to be a nicer guy on the form. People can be sooooo sensitive.

Well, do you have pics of the brake ducts that eliminate the oil cooler ducting?

And the RE oil cooler ducts, which unfortunately I do not have a pic with the skin on, but it does make the top skin of the oil cooler duct protrude down to my disliking.

The plastic tray pictured above "is the brake duct" (L/H side, the three verticle tabs, closest to you, attach to the fender liner). You eliminate the separate oil cooler ducts. The plastic tray encloses the bottom half of the car & follows the contour of the front spoiler lip brake duct opening.

That's why I added the R-Magic dedicated oil cooler ducts to my car. I wanted to get the maximum cooling I could on the track.

Where the plastic tray attaches to the fender liner I cut a rectangle hole to direct the airflow to the front brakes. Similar position as my original R1 brake ducts had.

Thanks for being a nice guy.. I do appreciate that.

If you don't mind and when you get a chance, can you shoot me some pics of your widefoot racing sway bar mounts and the 99 belly. I was thinking about getting that set up. How do you like it?? are you using different sway bar also??
