I would love a set of the flares you made a while back. the guy who ended up with them stuffed p225 in the front and rear. If you could do from CF fenders with the flares biult in as one peice and did rear flares you would have a wide body kit. I would buy that in a second.
what about the front air dam on the 79? A CF version thats extends a little closer to the ground would give any frist gen more front downforce AND better cooling.
How about CF/kevlar bumpers? stronger and lighter then steel for sure.
And last but not least the fron thing before the hood. make one of those CF and vented for the intake....
OMG I want ALL of that. Seriously my first gen would weigh less the 2000 with all of that and that would be sick!!!!!!

If you look at it closely, it looks like its a trick of light. The edge is actually rounded off and doesn't reflect teh light properly, giving you an idea that there is a gap.
The lights being slightly up also adds to the illusion and the small gap on the side that you see is actually fairly normal... I've seen 3 other Sevens that have that wide a gap and the bodywork is all in good shape.

how about a c/f sunroof panel. i have considered trying to make one, but haven't had time to try it yet. also, something i was thinking about doing out of glass, but c/f would look very cool, is flush mount headlights (non pop-up).
lol

C/F sunroof panel would definintely be viable. Do you know if they are still available new from mazda? Wouldn't want to mold from anything less than a new or absolutely mint panel...

Some people call them "Vent Visors" or "Wind Reflectors". Basically I would like to drive high speeds (freeway driving) with the window down (removed AC) without getting any of the noise.
