Get in touch with jtmck. If you were to see his car you would think he invented the canard. Get a ream of paper and a few pens at the ready. Seriously, he moves his car all over the apexes while passing supposedly aero cars.

Yes you can feel the down force, the car is still in development stages with getting the set up balance correct but has the best front end grip now. Speed wise turn one at Sydney Motorsport Park apex speed is 180kph and feels great with more left once I build up my confidence letting the aero do its work. I don’t have brake cooling issues it has the brake ducts front the front splitter using 2” ducts to the back of the rotors.
The canards are made from fibreglass and mounted to the body with alloy plates on the inside.
The fenders on the car are the L5 front and rear and are 1” wider than stock

I hope I will come up with a canard that will work well for me.
Your car looks like it would perform well. Thanks for the help.

Aussie z06 those are exactly what I am looking for. Like asked did you have molds. I would love to buy a set from you if you had time to make some. Some of the best I have seen.

The Canards were made from a large universal mould owned by Custom Carbons in Sydney Australia I then fabricated them to suit the Corvette, so I don't have a mould just to suit the C5 Corvette body.
I could look into getting moulds made if there was a real market for them, but not sure how many would sell if I was to start making them and if its worth while.
