Thumbs up RE-Speed: Be the first to guess this product and you'll receive a free one!
We'll here's an odd product for you guys! This is something that if you do long hauls in the RX7 you might of wished you had ... Here's the pictures of it

This one was just cut with tin snip, the ones you guys will be getting will be laser cut.

I should mention people that have tested this product with me are not allowed to say anything ... you know who you are!

PS: I'm dubbing this orange color form now on, experimental orange

Hole pattern looks like the flange for the door mirror. Some sort of wind deflector?

Bingo!!! We have a winner ... didn't think it was that easy. I need a name and address from you!

You can teak it fairly easily to where you want it to channel air to. It actually works pretty well even at low speed. I'll be making them for both right and left sides.

They can also be used to increase air to NACA ducts in the side for racers.

How does it look mounted? It gets rather hot without A/C, especially here with the humidity

Here's pictures of it mounted on the car. Also as a note, they will all be powder coated semi gloss black to not stand out as much, unless you really want them too!

Not sure what noise you're referring to? You must have a pretty quiet exhaust though

I'm sure it nothing a dab of silicone in that hole can't fix though. Your doors mirrors might of been hit in the past or tweaked creating a gap inbetween there. Or do you have the plastic piece inbetween the door and mirror removed?

We did the road test with my car. It works really well. I was actually surprised how well it worked at lower speeds. It'll be nice for the long drives to work.

Could it be done in a way to be easily removable? Without having to "bolt on".

Perhaps a way that could clip to the mirror and the door edge along the window?

Ummmm......



That doesn't seem to improve the FB lines very much, IMHOP.

Looks like jerky on a 7.

I live in the Atlanta area, we just put up our windows when it gets hot. AC or no AC.

Let's get back to basics, suspension upgrades, fuel cells and ways to make 12A's last forever.
