OEM airdam...$1,100!!!

Well, according to Car And Driver our OEM front airdam sells for $1,100. Or am I reading this wrong?

$1100 range is what the mazdaspeed front bumper costs.

That's probably how much the whole appearance package costs.

I recently purchased and installed the full AP weeks ago. I guess you may pay that much for the full AP at some places, not me, and they only speak of the front airdam and as you can see that's all it has.

Oh, I didn't dispute that they made an error - I simply tried to explain it.

That is a picture of the turbocharged RX8 that is from a place in Austin I believe. It had a lot of aftermarket stuff on it if I remember right. Maybe that front air dam is also aftermarket?

that's ptp's car, it has the factory airdam (150 shipped from ebay, oem as well) and had the coilovers set to super slammed when they tested it. There's no way in hell that airdam cost 1100 bucks, if it did then someone made the most awesome-est profit ever on a car part.
