any vendors that sell the SA airdam

I put a WTB in the for sale section, but thought someone here might know where one can be purchased. Mazdatrix used to carry them but it is now discontinued.

Thanks,

Shaun

This is the one I am looking for. I had checked Black Dragon and they dont carry it either. Given the dificulty, when I do find one I am having a mold made.

Thanks for your help,

That's the same one I'm looking for. Black Dragon used to sell it when they were still Victoria British. If you find anyone that sells one let us know

That's the one I was looking for as well. Gave up after a bit of looking since I'm not doing any body work yet.

if you ever find one and make a mold id buy one. my brother decied to steal my keys and try to drift when i was sick. i dont know the names of all the parts so bare with me. he messed up the drives side a little fender is fine. but he wreacked the plastic grill and the two square panels. and bent that tray that sits under the car from the cross member to the grill(do you even need it?) so befor i get my car on the road iam ordering a sheet of 3/16 carbon fiber . it's going to connect both fender's and iam going to cut out a section in the center so my rad get's air.

I am surprised to see so many people looking to buy one of these. When I talked to Mazdatrix, they said that the reason they stopped carrying it after they switched fiberglass vendors was because they didn't see a demand. I will call them back and point this thread. Perhaps see how many they would require to do a new run. I know Pineapple did the REPU valances a while back, they might be worth asking as well since I heard those came out well.

Also,

I talked with someone, who knows someone, who thinks he knows someone who has this mold. The one guy is quite reputable and on this forum, so we will see how it goes.

Keep us posted. I'd like to see someone make a mold of these. Do you know what material they are made of?

Here is the page, the photos arent the best and I would assume they have had these molds for quite some time.

http://www.showcars-bodyparts.com/rx7.html

If you surf their site, they have a mind boggling selection of items.

I spoke with Rob from there today, the sketchs are hard to make out. But the STD airdam "left and in the middle" seems to be the one we want. I am going to email him the pic I posted in this thread so he can verify just to be 100% sure.

FYI - they do not take credit card. I looked at their ebay store and they do have 715 feed back with 98% positive. The only negative I saw was turnaround time, but he was straight forward telling me it would be at least 3 weeks since they have a heavy workload right now.

On another note, he said that he was certain they have other items for the 1st gens not listed on the site. Hood??????

Hope this can help, I will be ordering one next week probably and will keep everyone updated on how it turns out.
