cool

I have one of those, got mine off yahoo! Auctions for 80.00. Since then I have cut two fog light holes and I'm getting ready to paint the car again and match it to the body color. It actually works good too, at 95mph I'd get swaying and bobbing , now at 110-120 I am rock solid...that and my rear spoiler

I'm selling it because i've bought a mariah mode four.
you leave everything alone on the car,and it mounts to the stock
bumper,and the bottom front of the wheel well.The stock grill will
not work,in the dam i used some wire mesh(looks OK)to keep out
things from hitting rad.and it can be repainted,it works too.I'm
not using it,so if someone in the forum wants it let me know and
we'll work out the details,,,it's just sitting there,I have a front bumper for a 1982 (- )turn lens,,silver, markeperez@juno.com

It looks just like this:

That is exactly what I have. Very easy to mount, looks good color matched and actually drops the coolant temp. All incoming air is pushed thru the rad. Mounts to stock bumper. My grill did fit perfect. This was easier to mount then my whale tail. Gives the car an agressive look about it. Made by Kamei, which I think is now gone(?). With stock ride hieght, I very seldom scrape. Just have to be more careful in town.(Which is good, keeps down on the speeding tickets) I now have two small driving lights mounted in the corners.

If it would fit an 85 GSL ( and i dont see why not) Im seriously considering it. Just two questions What type of material is it and what do you have to do to mount it.

It's of this flexible material, but it's sturdy,it installs to the bumper and inner wheel wells with screws,if you paint the
screws first it looks better

My Fiberglass is crunched

Thinking I need to get this polyurethane deal. Mazdatrix just has the fiberglass (that's what I had, but this last curb was one too many). I'm interested in getting this from you this week if possible, if it's still available or from anybody else??? Feel free to E-mail me. dsiggy@pacbell.net Thanks.
