Question on IMSA

Would the IMSA front bumper for a 81-85 RX-7 fit on a 1979?

I'm talking about this one


If it doesn't, what should I do to make it fit?

That is not an IMSA bumper.... that one goes slighly inward as you can see above the passenger fog light.


Imsa comes down completely straight. With special thin foglights that don't stick out like the above picture.

Compare with my pic.

It's very close though, from mazdatrix right? I'd buy it, makes a huge difference.

You will need to get the corner lights from an 81-85 for that Air Dam.

Ok I'm not sure what you're talking about... the only modification I need to do is to change the corner lights from an 81-85? Other then that it will fit? Because I can get corner lights from an 83 if that's the only thing that I need to do...

anybody else can confirm this?

wouldn't it make a difference that the 79(sa) has those steel bumpers that stick out unlike the FB?

for the stock imsa airdam...like in my pic..its a 3 piece..and will only for over the 81 + front end..bumpers

im sure you could mod the imsa airdam.....but its probably easier to get new fenders and front bumpers form an 81 +



cheers,,
