You could also PM ModernRacer... I think he made some for his car (sweet looking things too).

Well they are for racecars and when building a racecar it isn't about making it pretty it's about making it fast.

well sometimes race parts look good for a showcar. As long as your not going around saying "yeah, i had to get some canards for my lancer cause it couldnt handle at my high speeds." then go for it.

Well, of course it would definitely only make a difference on a race car... I'd say it will help manage light understeer on a really fast car going around medium to fast corners. It's quite useless under 100Mph... and who goes around any kind of corner in a street car above 100Mph?!?!


Then again, I like the sports car look... especially the GT and touring car look. But only the canards would look weird. If you're gonna go with the sports car look, you must go all the way. I like what modernRacer has done to his RA. Not everybody agrees of course, but at least he went all the way for sure. He's only missing the rims... and he said he's getting those in the spring anyway.

That last part is the key.

Long as you keep it real with parts you put on your car then I'd never knock you. Please don't tell me you put an Evo wing on your RA cuz it helps with the handling. If you are putting a so called performance part on your car cuz of the looks then keep it real and say you got it cuz you liked the way it looked. You'll gain my respect (not that my respect is all that or something). lol

Well I am getting it for looks! I don't actually think that those little canards are going to help me turn better or what ever people say that they'll do. I'm only going to be pushing about 8-9 psi, so I don't think I'll ever go fast enough for the canards to work. I just want them for looks, that's all. Just like my Evo VII wing and eyelids, I don't get them for speed, I get them for looks. Speed is ALL under the engine, well in my point of view. but that's a whole other subect, perhaps not appropriate for this thread...

True they can be for looks too, but i installed mine for the track for sure, i am definitly looking forward to next season to get some track time in and see how (if ) they help the car at higher speeds
