You need to have the mods to back up the look, otherwise it's just silly. It's like wearing a giant "My ***** is huge" hat, while being a eunuch, if you don't do it right.

It's meant to be a function first device.

It's almost as bad as people who put huge wings on the back of civics because it looks cool.

There seems to be several people that spew these types of comments here, and in general, other forums. I guess its par for the course.

Does anybody know of a good source for Varis or V-style Evo X MR canards?

Also what do you think of blue on a Phantom Black? I really dont want my car to look like I just bought a bunch of random parts and threw them on. Like a kid going to Autozone and loading up his Neon with parts.

I personally like splitter's. Had one on my car, it's different than the everyday look of the same lip everyone has IMO

I have a black X too man and i was considering the whole splitter deal, but honestly if your not pushing your car to the point where you need the extra down-force, I just see it as a waste of money spend it on powder coating your rims or some performance mod.

I do want to sort of lip and this was an option.

The comments on here are hilarious. A performance part can't be in show-and-shine because it's functional. Is someone seriously suggesting that race cars don't look good? If your "functional" race car is of the $2k challenge variety then fine but baller race cars *do* look good.

What's funny is I have locals try to tell me that my APR wing is 'ricer' when the Evo came from the factory with a wing. I can actually see underneath the APR and safely back out of a parking spot...it's functional in more than one way.
