Default Canards?

Is there any other company besides Caravaggio that makes the front canards? I thought I had seen some at one time that looked a little bit different from the Caravaggios. TIA!

Here's mine. Being sold by Mid-America. They're painted Quicksilver. I'm selling them for $175 shipped. The 3M tape pieces are missing but I am putting them back on if sold. There is a small hole on the passenger side which is not seen since it is on the underside. They are $249 unpainted from Mid-America. Here is a pic

Great pic, "slverC5". Your Vette is a beauty. And, as posted above, canards are now available from most vendors. The pair of canards pictured above on "slverC5" is the latest version of the canard now offered by Mid America. This canard product is a little different in that it actually hugs the lower edge and corner perimeter of the bumper instead of being pitched at an angle as a large wrap around corner piece Great Look.

I thought the BPP ones were carbon fiber as opposed to fiberglass...

Ya, that's the only thing I hate about black. Can't see any of the details! They look great on your ride tho.

BTW, I had the ACI ones, but re-sold them on E-bay because they require drilling into the front side of the fascia. I got the Carravaggio, because although they're twice the price, they look much more aggressive and don't require drilling.

I would man but feel my car is too low and would end up scraping to the point of tearing it off.

Oh well. I like you're car just like it is... Yours is my favorite vert. I'm not a big fan of the canards. But on black maybe it won't be so bad...
