    I want the 1G sideskirts and rear for my spyder(s). But with the 99 front end (nice, big, FMIC space). Of course, I'm partial to the "testarossa" look of it, and the 1G rear looks much better than the 2G IMO.

    I love my 94-96 front bumpers thus my Spyder is staying just like that, but I think it would be cool just to see what it would look like.

    Rounded smooth edges in the front, jagged sharp angles on the sides.. Just does not flow.

    It'd be cool but it would also kill the "value" of the car.

    I'm a Gen1 man for life. Would look awesome. Throw in a 99VR4 wing with the RHD Stealth Spyder for another notch on the weirdness scale.

    I like the big opening for the FMIC, and I'm not a fan of mustaches and pop-ups.

    Pfft, no biggie. I've got a cianci widebody, built motor, and TD05s. It's nowhere near "collector" status. Book value isn't reflective of my personal value of the car.

    The spoiler on the spyder is molded into the tonneau cover. Not sure it would work right with a 99 bench.

    If you have the time and willingness to do a RHD Stealth Spyder then reworking the tonneau cover wouldn't be to much more of a hassle to make a 99 "bench" work.
