that's the airdam on mine, fix'm and sell them. Make sure you have on your car. In my opinion that is the nicest model out of the front air dams. Lots of people are looking for that part, for an Rx7 it makes just as big a difference as rims.

I like mine! Not the prettiest thing in the world, but its extremely functional. Tack on the ducted backing plates and run ducting from the high-pressure sources off of the dam, and your rotors last for 3 races instead of 2.

I think that an airdam on a street car changes the appearance, and gives the car something that sets it out in the crowd.

Most are easy to modify with some simple glass work, so dont through your out!

Balz!

You've gotta be real carefull when driving around with one of these especially if your car's lowered at all. I had one on my car but I'm sick of breaking it and having to glass it up so I just left it off. They're pretty easy to fix and they look great but for me it got to be too much of a PIA.

Mine did. But I removed all the side mouldings when I had the car painted. Looks better this way IMO.

I agree. I was going to take mine off, but my car has been painted, and it didn't match. So I'm stuck with the damn moulding and emblems
