First gen bumper on RX-2?

I was looking around on some sites from New Zealand and Australia and came across this picture of an RX-2 race car:



Is it just me or does that look like a first gen RX-7 bumper? It appears that he shortened the sides to make it fit with the fenders. I was just wondering if anyone else has tried this, because I always thought the 7 was a wider car. Though its hard to tell from this picture, it looks like the bumper fits pretty well.

BTW, the picture is from the Mazda Rotary Enthusiasts Club's site ( http://www.mrec.homestead.com/files/home.htm )

Yeah I know it's not my favorite, but I was just looking at other options. Here's the nicest one (IMO) I've seen so far:



At first I thought it was an RX-3 airdam, but it's slightly different (or maybe its just the picture, it looks almost exactly alike though):

I wonder if these are the spoilers from Fibremaster? ( http://www.fibremaster.com.au/mazda.htm )

I picked a front air dam up from a 510 guy. Under $100. The angled lip version...in fiberglass. I have usually seen them in a black rubber-like version, but this is glass. It fits perfectly on my 2, or will after I paint and install it. I will send you a pic ASAP.

Oh cool man I've been wondering about 510 stuff and how well it would fit, definitely send some pics or post them when you get the chance.

Here's an Australian place that still sell air dams for early Mazdas, amongst many other old cars:

I'm not a big fan of the one they show for the RX-2, but the RX-4 dam is OK, and they have an "interesting" wing for Rx-3 coupes....

I've never done business with them so I can't coment on that, I'm just letting you know they exist.
