Blow up or win
Damn, did you go to a lot of trouble to take that picture or what.
It's an early attempt at "aero"........I painted mine red to match the car. I know, I know...too much time.

I think is there the most for looks, but also if you jack your car up without the orig. jack than you can put it there so you don't screw up the underbody, IMO maybe I'm wrong... 
BTW, fuuuuck., what happened, how the hell that did you manage to do that, did you get hurt or anyone? that's horrible. It hurts me to se that.

That FD was lost on one of the socal cruises....
I think that piece is aesthetics if not for aerodynamics and maybe lower the noise levels... i dunno... sounds good though.. lol

I'm not sure what that piece is, my '93 base has them though. But SterlingFD, in the future, if you want to take a picture of something under your car, it's a lot easier to just hold the camera under the car. (You don't need to flip the car upside down)

My 93 base has them, I thought they looked kinda weird being black on my VR so I took them off the week I got my FD. However, I may get them painted VR and put them back on..........

The guy who was driving that car is physically fine, but he hasn't heard from his insurance yet.
BTW, I saw the wheels first hand and at least two of them are bent. The only panel that did not appear to be damaged was the aftermarket hood.

Ex fd *****
Thoes pieces SHOULD (were oem equip) on ALL fds. They ar there to smoth air flow around the rear tires improving brake cooling and reducing road noise. fc's have a similar piece and on the fc MAZDA claimed they were good for a .05 reduction aerodynamic drag (Cd)
