The side skirts are Mazda Factory Race type; all fiberglass construction, came gel-coated in white, and have a fiberglass extension tab in the middle which allows for screwing into the unibody rail to stabilize the middle. Being fiberglass, they take paint well and are durable. I've had a set on 2 cars now, and they're the same skirts on my 84SE. The airdam is too dark to make out what it might be, but with the lower lip set back behind the front bumper, I'd guess its a Pacific or similar made out of ABS plastic or carbon reinforced plastic. These don't tend to last long, given their fragile construction. I've ruined 2× Kamei front spoilers over the years, and they're impossible to repair.

I successfully repaired a split-in-two Kamei front spoiler. I made some mistakes during the restore but it's passable and if I knew what I was doing probably be even better. If you still have them I may be interested.

Anyone ever do and or have pictures of just pieces that would go from the bottom of front dam to mid to center front wheel and the same in the back. Just behind the door to mid/ center of rear wheel? I’m thinking small custom curved piece with possible small exterior lip/wing?

the idea being I don’t like body kits. But I have big tires so that would add downforce and direct air over wheel

Here’s a xenon that has additional brake cooling holes. In case the kamei is not exactly what you were looking for. Took these years ago trying to get a mold made. That didn’t happen. This one is for an sa, the fb ones have some differences where they line up with the fenders.

Hope these help.
