Depending on price, it may be worth it. Of course, it also depends on what model of seven. As I understand, SA bumpers will NOT fit an FB

I didn't think my humor was that obtuse, or are we just upping the post count.


Right now painting is the least of my worries.

Good job on getting a 7 with solid fenders. If you need parts, let me know. I have some extra body panels, and other misc stuff. Mainly interior.

Smile

part will come in black g-coat and price would be around 150.00
i will start the retro fit in a week im finishing a bolt on rear spoiler for the 7
will soon have pics..
my idea is do to a kit based on that airdam complete with flares, side skirts
and rear bumper corners (drifter style)
so keep the imput coming.

Paulo.

to confirm, that is the toysport front air dam from the MKI MR2. I used to have one It's a simple spoiler that fit the MR2 nicely, i'd be interested to see how it would look on a 7

Looks kind of like VB 86-92 "Aero" dam. Make it fit 1st gen & you have the the VB 96-409 model w/ 2 vents. I say make it more distinctive & you have something.

Round vents would look good, I've always loved the front airdams and subtle flares that the Pro 7 cars use:



Just an idea
