Best looking front airdam

well, since my front bumper is destroyed and off the car, I figured I may as well buy a nice-looking aftermarket air dam.

Which do you think looks the best on a stock 1st gen?

Im in the market for one as well, I think Im getting one from www.selectmaz.com.au. The Tornado SS. Anyway, theres one place to look. I like the "plain" MazdaTrix look, as well as the Mariah air dams.

I think the mazda IMSA one looks best, but that woulnd't work for you since it mounts to the bumper.

Saw one once that had the same general lines as the stock nose, but 2 cups moulded in for WRX sized foglights and a subtle but aerodynamically effective dam

other than the fog lights it didn't appear to change the stock lines that much, which is why it was automotive lust @ first sight - so of course I discovered it was a Japan Only model and would have cost the GNP of Ireland to import.

I like mine. It used to be a standard Mazdatrix air dam, but got tired of the square lights.

Nice did it come with the metal mesh, or did you mod that in too?

No, it was also modded in. Works pretty good on hiding the intercooler.

Find someone in Japan to buy it and send it to you.

Lots of money and wait time. It would be worth it though.

I want to do that for a set of wheels like these:

Great minds think alike! (And fools rarely differ)

That's the one I was talking about

EDIT: Gawd, I'm an idiot. My buddy's brother LIVES in Japan.

Lemme see if I can work something out...
