Hey all, I am going to get a barnyard find 1981 Rx7 soon and I was looking into replacing it's front bumper with something closer in style with the FC models. Would this be possible and where should I start looking to find something that would work? I am pretty new to the scene and this will be my first major project car (I know I'm going to be in over my head but it'll be fun).

I have looked around for a bit across different threads here, and I do like the look of the Mariah Mode 4 front bumper offered by Rotary Engineering but I'd like to really expand my search around to other styles and truly see the vision.

Thanks!

 

There aren't a lot of choices. Rotary Engineering is a good place to start. https://www.rotaryengineeringsb.com/...fXXfH82efta2Tf

 

I've been happy with my Mariah Mode4 air dam for 20yrs now, and it pairs well with the Mode4 hatch and Pacific whale-tail. Previously, I had 2× Kamei front spoilers that was FRP and weak, flapped in the airstream, and eventually self-destructed by blowing out the center section. The best option for me continues to be fiberglass, as it's strong, light, and can be painted easily.

All of the Mariah molds went to Rotary Engineering, who make parts to order, so they usually have lead times and ship by crate, which can get expensive. Regardless, they're the best parts on the market for 1sr Gen. Everybody else has been out of business for decades.

 

I did like their Mode 4 options! I am looking around for anything really, I saw a few FBs around that had bumpers from other cars and I guess this is more of a "looking for inspiration" thread haha
