Front air dam replacement

[john loudon]

I am looking to replace the front air dam on my 1st gen MR2. Would appreciate your help with advice for aftermarket sources for this item. Thanks

Check out our "For Sale " section. Aaron is parting out his Aw11. He may still have that part.
There's also ads on this forum for MR2 body kit/parts/wings/skirts etc.

Depends upon whether you have a MkIa or MkIb MR2. There are still a few being made by US and oversea companies for the MkIa, but very little if anything for the MkIb (odd!). I think Kaminari makes one of the best looking and most functional ones for the MkIa, but there is also an Autosport knockoff being made by Woodsport, in England, which looks very nice and is very functional as well, and which I believe might fit both the MkIa and MkIb because of its design. It definitely fits the MkIb. There is also a Eurosport model, which I believe is made in both MkIa and MkIb form, and is now being made by a different company that took over their body kit production. There is also a very nice MkIa model made in New Zealand, but shipping is very pricy. Other than that there are at least a couple of other odd MkIa models that have been around for quite awhile.

Howdy John,

Saw your post and the same old usual responses and wanted to chime in with the radical approach, if you don't want your car's looks to look like every other Tom, Dick or Harry's car.
(which seems like the case nowadays)

I've been a Budget Racer for 20 years, raised 3 teens and had to look for options to buying all the "usual" expensive "buy what everybody else does" items..... Boring.

I'm currently running a Ford Mustang spoiler on my 89 SC racecar (most think it's BMW?), my Drag Car has a inverted Mazda rear spoiler (3lbs).... anyway

1st off I traced the bumper profile onto a large sheet of cardboard, took this template to several auto "yards" till I found a look I like that would fit within my template. Took this spoiler, applied it to the bottom of my bumper and down the race track I flew.

There's really no reason you have to buy what everybody else does, UNLESS your looking for their approval?

Some us independent types could give a flying crap what other owners think of what we do to our cars. Screw them! There's always going to be someone critical of the unusual, they play it safe and aren't innovative or trend setters. They sit on the butts on the sidelines and bitch mostly.

For my $0.02 cents I say look at ALL the choices, don't follow the crowd, be a individual. Standout from the crowd.
