hmmm.... thats asking a bit much out of the FB if you ask me.....(ryme). I think the 2nd Gen GTU style spoiler would look nice though with the JDM first Gen bumper! Just my opinion though, do what you feel looks good to you man just try not to make it too ricey like putting house gutters on as a side skirt and you should be fine!

I agree. smaller 3rd gen might work...you would prob need a wide body to make it look good since it sticks so far out the sides. I would be interested to see if someone could photochop one though. Sometimes things turn out better/worse than your imagination.

I Think they are the same bumper "JDM, USDM", but most refer to them as the JDM market bumper since they were put on a limited amount of RX-7's with the rear spoiler when the RX-7 was winning IMSA races. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and it is his car...so maybe he likes the idea of doing this?

I think if you got a widebody kit for it, and had it molded into the kit, it might look good. If you ever decide to do it, fill me in one the outcome! Good luck to you if you go through with it.

Lol, I didn't see the other two. As I wasn't trying to spite you though, I was just simply stating what came to mind at first. I'd imagine if I saw the other two threads, I wouldn't have been so much in his favor.
