crux flugel plate/flap !!

i was just browsing through my old issue of rx7 magazine, and this thing caught my eyes. i did a search on yahoo japan and found their site.

it's a carbonfiber front lip and rear spoiler 'plate' made by crux in japan, imo they look very nice and price is fairly decent.

check it out




p.s. the front lip picture on the website doesn't show up too good, it looked alot better in the magazine. the front lip in the magazine kinda looked like the leman style lip

First, the front lip looks alot like the 99 front lip, don't you think? At least from the top it does... since it is flat rather than hollow like the 93-95 and 99+ front spoilers, it probably looks different from the sides or straight on. It even looks like it has integrated brake ducts. The brake ducts are a separate part on the 99 front spoiler so don't forget to order them if you go this route - I did and they took 6 weeks to come in. Wonder if this product has integrated ducts?

As for the pix of the NSX, are you saying that is a Le Mans car? Um... that is Doug Hayashi's NSX which just ran in the Open Track Challenge. I'm further sure that Doug would love to run at Le Mans next month, but I don't think that this is in the cards for him. If you go to his site (everyone should, it is entertaining and informative) at www.nsxfiles.com you'll read that he just put this splitter on as part of a new mega-buck suspension package a So. Cal. racing outfit designed for him. The splitter was a solution to a problem of low downforce in front. I'm not an aerodynamacist but everything I've seen indicates that you want to stop air from going under the car, and a splitter and low ride height are a good way to do it. Looks like any of these will do the trick.

Anyone care to guess how that rear flap mounts on the stock rear spoiler? Probably with some big old screws? If there was a way to get it easily removable then it would be nice to throw on the car before hitting the track (road course, of course ) Assuming it even creates downforce, that is.

no no, i saw this lip of nsx on doug hayashi's site, and he said it's a leman style lip.

the front lip in the magazine does seem to have 2 opening for brake duct, and in the magazine, it doesn't look like the oem front lip, the front is extended alot, kinda like that nsx lip.

canman, can you get me that lip and flap, how much shipped to U.S.?
