Front air dam only.

Does anyone have any pics of an Rx-8 with only the front air dam installed?

Thanks Mikeb, since the car came with the rear wing I added the air dam to balance things out!

Yes Mel that's what I'm looking for. I'm debating on getting the front air dam, I think it makes the front look very sharp, but I don't care for aero flares for the side and rear.

Was the dam hard to put on? How does it attach to the front bumper by screws or adhesive tape?

The front bumper has to come off to install the front dam. On your car the most difficult part of the bumper removal is unclipping the fog lights. Six holes (3 on each side) are drilled into your lower bumper (after the stock "dam" is removed) and the new front dam is installed with the six bolts and the double sided tape that are already on the new dam. The lower bumper is already marked where you need to drill. Not too hard. A second person to help with aligning the bolts into the holes would be good.

That was my reasoning too. I had the dealer do it while installing the dark chrome wheels, but MedicineMan has the answer to install.
