rx-8 airdam on a fb
i did some ms paint work, and it looks crappy, but what do you think? could any one else do a better job, so people could get a better idea.

It seems to me that this has been done before...

There is a Silver FB that the body is heavaly modified on, and I think it has either an FD or RX-8 air dam on it.

It sould turn up in a search...

Hey check out the GIMP it is an Open Source implimentaiton of Photoshop.

It may help for future photochop projects.

I think it looks to modern for our old cars. I personally think the one with square headlight holes and the square center hold looks great

Smile RX-8 Airdam
Here's a quick stab at it. I like the second pic better.

Why would you want that airdam? The RX-8 looks like a guppy gasping for breath.
