Went dwn to Miami and had my airdam installed, This was made buy the same guys who made my wing. Really happy with the end product.. (cost $200 install included for local buyers)

It does make a big differance in handling, On the way home i jumped on the turn-pike, The car seems to handle so much better at higherspeedsI was shallow and really thought it was all looks, Like my wing, I was wroung ..

sorry about the bad photo, sun is setting..

Looks great and yes it does make an incrediable difference in handling. If you are not running aftermarket sway bars consider them because the car will handle even better and take away the inherent oversteer. Also what size tires are you running? rx7doctor

Looks very nice - the FAD you bought is the same one that Mazda engineers designed for the car, and was available through the Mazda Factory Store. In that regard, I think it fits the design of the car very nicely, and addition of a nice set of standard size rectangle driving lights really makes that FAD shine.

I had to mod my FAD to fit the round lights that I wanted; the end result was that the lights are vertically aligned with the main beams, and all white lighting is round in shape. I was going for a look, I guess you could say.

A quick shot here;

LongDuck, did you make a splitter/undertray for the front end? It looks like it to me.

I like it. I had one like iton my first car, an 82 RX7. I lived in Ft. Lauderdale at the time. How long has this place been around that you purchased this from?

ftlaud

JOHN64;Maybe a couple months, they just started there won Bussiness. and just moved into a new space. If you ever a part you want made they can make it..

Things they are working on now:Inside Carbon fiber parts that cover the wheel wells and speaker cover.. also dash parts..

LONGDUCK: like what you did with the round lights.. very one of kind look! Your car is one of my all time Fav, I like your mariah hatch, not been a fan of the ones i have seen in others pics.. but your car is sweet!!

RX7Doc: Thanks for the info on the "aftermarket sway bars" I dont know much about cars, but like when given ideas! thanks.. Will check the tires size, not sure, I had them installed when i bought the car in 2001 .

My 'splitters' are made of kydex, a flexible synthetic material used for all kinds of things. Since it's plastic, you can run it up on the occasional curb and it will flex or break the rivets, making repair very easy, and the biggest thing is that it won't damage the ABS airdam or cause paint to chip off from the lower edge. The rivets are attached through the splitter into the bottom of the FAD and have washers on the backside so that they'll rip out if they encounter any serious impact.

Kydex is a lot easier to cut and replace than ABS or buying a new airdam and having to have paint matched.

Now that you have a FAD installed, you should get used to parking with about an extra foot in front of your car and the curbs or parking blocks - it's only a matter of time before you whack something solid and then you'll be pissed!

I still request that my wife back into parking spaces that have parking blocks - she's managed to ding up the splitter more than once.

Kydex is good stuff. Is it also an undertray?

Yea good advice, every one of those dams I see has cracks from parking mishaps.

i've got the original 3 piece urethane air dam....exact same style...

it bends real easy and that should be a bonus, don't want to be fixing
a cracked airdam all the time. can't wait to install it.
