Noob Question

I have been looking at pictures of all these sexy evos on the site, and I am really thinking about getting the small fins that go on the front bumper, what exactly are those called?

Any idea what the install process is?

The fins a called canards. Maybe do some research and figure where you wanna go mod wise, or just slap random parts on and good luck

that sounded a little rude....

I would think that this post requesting the name of them is starting the research?
i didnt say OMGOMG I WANT FINS ON MY EVO....

i asked what they are called so i could research them....

thanks for the name though.

There are plenty of helpful threads on this website by saying research I meant do some reading. Try the modding for dummies thread.

IF you actually tracked your evo then you would understand what candards actually do. next your going to be saying front splitters are rice and do nothing

modding a daily drive evo doesnt make any sense, but then again evo's are not about making any sense, so if you like them put them and make sure they are properly installed to add the intended effect..in any case a stock evo with canards will look a little awkward, i suggest beefing it up a bit, perhaps splitter, wheels, drop etc.
