oh thank god. I thought u actaully meant a front spoiler. As for attaching an air dam, ivbe heard screws and adhesive. The gt500/350's couldnt pull off a front spoiler so im doubting a 7 could.

Well the ford front 'chin' spoilers used on the trans-am
boss mustangs and the cars sold to the average joe-bob
were in the trunks for the owners to install. 4 screws hold on the plastic 'chin'spoilers.. as for an airdam for a rx7 it depends on who made the part. My mariah front airdam is attached with 2 large bolts,nylocks. but any fibre-glass front airdam will use bolts and screws. don't even think of using a glue.

From your image that looks like a Mazda Factory 'performance shop' FAD which is pretty hard to find these days.
Since it's urethane, you can use flathead screws on the inside mounting points. I also ended up using some kydex sheet and pop rivets to allow for some 'give' (i.e., release), should the airdam come in contact with something truly solid.
Make sure that it's secure, however - you don't want that thing to go solo when you're cruising down the freeway at 75mph. It gets a LOT of force applied against it, particularly so since it's block shaped at the front. You should notice markedly improved front downforce with it installed, and no more high speed steering lightness. One of the big improvements that come with installation of ANY front airdam on a 1st Gen.
