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 actually like it. When i heard the title i was like"OH NO!!", but if you could get one moulded on, it might be sweet!

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

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