i like it. What i am wondering, is:
1. What other facia kits will be around the same dimensions? ( iknow a honda but what year, model)
2. How hard would it be to cut the kits to fit, once you have them?
3. how about the headlights like halfway up and two PIAA lights in them, kinda like the miata low profile kit.
I like the way that looks, i just might do it.
Oh man i guess im jumping into the fire now.

well i got that specific piece off of a pic of a 3rd gen. If (when) i make one, once i have more skill w/ fiberglass, what i'm going to do is take an aftermarket one, and only use it for a template. i am going to cut it or whatever to make it so that it lines up perfectly w/ the body lines, as it does in that picture.
The main dif between my white one and that black one, is the black one i think was from a wider body, so the two side valence things (that look like the jokers mouth you guys say) stick out. Mine would come around, just like the other front dams.
I think its funny so many people say they hate that picture, when its really pretty much the exact same as all the other 1st gen air dams, only more rounded.... ;-)

Good effort IoTus. And man, your FB is sweet. I actually have a bookmark to your photo site.
I believe that the FB may be one of the most perfectly sculpted cars made, period. Even though it's over 20 years old, its lines are both clean and sleek enough to be exciting and stylish still today. It doesn't look dated in the least.
The problem is... any add-ons make the car look bad. Air damns make the front end look heavy and unbalanced. Your damn looks kinda ricey. Rear spoilers take away from the cleanly sculpted taillight panel (such an upgrade over the SA). And those giant deck wings ... ugh.
So, you will have a tough time improving upon perfection!

[Im not so sure I like the flush headlights though, the jurys still out ]
i'd have to go with the flush headlights on this one!
i think that the pop up headlights would through off the areodynamic look that is really working for it.

I guess I'm the Odd man out.
I happen to like all of them. I only wish I had the skill to duplicate them myself... but then if I did, I'd probably go with a Porsche front end![Smilie](https://www.rx7club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
