Eh... it looks ok. I don't like it as much as the IMSA airdam, but of course this is only a drawing. I'll wait for the final product. And yes it reminds me too much of an Enzo front nose. Maybe we need smaller holes that are less "square".

I am totally with RMD on wanting an air damn that keeps the stock look of the front going back under the front "chisel nose" that is one of my favourite parts of the cars unique look. Also with the majority of the air damns you look at the front then at the back it usually looks "front heavy" just sorta lopsisded and off balance. anyways thats jsut my 2 centz

I like the mazdatrix airdam. I also don't really like the IMSA.

But above all I'll take the beautiful sexy stock nose.

I really like the idea of a new airdam for my car that retains the overall shape, but I'd have to say that I'd like something a little more conservative than the original drawing.

good idea on the airdam manntis.. but looks alil too modern for me.. i like the airdam that pratch has or jimmy54 ....

simple clean functional...

but step in the right direction....

instead of angling in to the car have it head straight down like the previous 2 airdams i spoke of


my .02cents

shaun

P.S. just stay away from the way my current airdam looks..
i wish i had another one

i dont like the airdams that go straight down. It ruins the lines of the car in front. The nose is perfect with the chisel shape. Having a air damn the goes straight down squares up the front end makin it look sorta boxy, wich the FB is NOT. I think manntis is heading in the right direction. and the boxy front end just makes the whole car look sorta lop sided IMO. The FB is a clean car with great lines. dont mess it up :] it seems liek there is two groups the people who want to keep the pointy nose and the others who want the straight down air dam .
