show me your front air dam (pictures)

i thought it would be a good idea to make a post of different front air dams. If you have an aftermarket air dam, please post one picture of it, where you got it, and how much it cost. I think this will be a useful resource in the future. Hopefully we can get a whole bunch on here. I am personally interested in whats out there and what kind of different stuff everyone has done.

Here's a picture of a widebody Mariah Mode One airdam. I got this one used, but they sell new for $565, plus shipping, from mariah motor sports. This airdam is part of the Mode One package and Mode One fenders are required for proper installation do to the airdam's extra width. These airdams can be modded to fit (with some cutting and some fiberglass work plus a modded reinforcement bar) but that is all unnecessary since Mariah sells another airdam that is identical, the Mode Four airdam, that will fit regular first generation Rx7s, for $497.

Kamei FRP construction, purchased from a local speedshop, but I think this is the one that VB sells, also. In the future (once this one cracks up), I'll be buying into the Mariah Mode 4 airdam as pictured above - looks very nice, and fiberglass for better durability (I don't have problems running it up against curbs and prefer the stiffer construction);



And, no, this isn't my garage!

dam air

Only a few kits are off the shelf here, not like you lucky ******...lol.
All i know is the same guy did the blue and yellow, he is in Melbourne and doesn't work anymore so i have no idea of price but i would expect maby $100 in glass and resin. The yellow is a Bathurst full wide body as driven by Allan Moffat in 1982 one off replica- but when you go looking arround here all people say is limited edition-one off-priceless bullshit, sad thing is i know a guy that can make them and won't(even has moulds). I'm still a shark fin front air dam and so will worry about looks when i get higher in hp.
