What "ground effects" is this?

Just found this on the local classifieds, says it's for an 80's RX-7, and he wants $200. I don't think I've seen it before. Any info? Also, how would something like this attach...rivets? IS it for an SA or FB...both?

Looks like this one for the SA. Not sure what brand it is but you can buy it and send it to me since it won't fit your FB

Appears to be SA, as previously said.
Looks like it mounts at the fender lips, behind the marker lights and front bumper ends, and around the grill opening area.

Think I can make it work on an FB? How much do you think I could get for it on here if I bought it and it doesnt fit my car.

It can be modified to fit the FB but I'm not sure how to do it, someone on here has done it. Hard to say how much you could get for it

Oh, I made a new thread...guess I should up date this one. I bought the dam, and installed it, and I think I did a better job than that orange car. It doesnt look like he trimmed his bumper cover.

I personally have not ordered from that shop.

It's supposedly based in NY state so i'll eventually get around to calling them up and finding some info on them... hopefully they are still open
