Cool front lip

http://www.demonspeed.com/splitter2.htm

Deamonspeed is selling a chin spoiler for FC that I think is cool.

Fits on the stock 86-88 bumper? I like it! That goes on the future mods list.

I don't see how that would help at all in cooling. the air going though the hole would still be going under the plastic under pan, and not into the rad.

I think it's subtle enough for my old ***. I think it'll look okay when painted. It's not as low as it looks, the sidewalk is about 2" higher than where my tires are.

Check out the last photo. That shows what the sides looked like before a little trimming.

I got it from the guy that was complained about above. It was not a good experience.

Hmm....not bad looking. I thought of buying a half front spoiler but the front opening on most I have found is smaller than stock . One in particular was the RE Amemiya. The Border full front face has a nice big opening but it's $900. I need it for the front IC.
Hey, how's the quality on that thing??

Glad everyone likes it! Any questions please let us know.

Scott-You have to fab up a different underpan to get the full effect and benefit of the spoiler. Just by installing it and modifying the pan on our SCCA ITS car we dropped the water and oil temps 10 degrees. (Not to mention the added "sex appeal " lol)

Mike-
Thanks again for the pictures! I wanted to clarify that the person you had difficulty with wasn't me!

Remember, it comes to $175.50 delivered for rx7club.com members so please e mail sales@demonspeed.com to get the discounted price.

Damn, that's hell of a deal. I'm getting one.
It doesn't look THAT low. It's just the way the picture was taken. At least if I break it, it won't waste the whole front end like the full face I was going to get.

Demon, how do you fab up the underpan? Do you have specs on it? Anything that aids cooling in a rotary is worth doing if you ask me? Did you make something out of sheet aluminum (replace the plastic underpan and create a scoop in it)? If youve got plans or specs, let us know. Great price too... I want! lol

I believe it helps assist in directing air into the FMIC. also adds a little downforce. Kinda like an indy car effect. not much though. Maybe 40-50 LBS at best @ 80 MPH.

Hi guys-
These things are fairly durable. We stuffed the car at Sebring bad enough to have to replace the nose and right front fender but the splitter survived! so Cheers! I dont know where you live or what the roads are like but I think youd be safe

Gothic-
The underpan is exactly what you said, nothing real fancy. Anyone with a rivet gun and a pair of tin snips can make something similar. It does help in the downforce Dept as well.

Any other questions or comments please let us know! Thanks guys!
