Default CANARD front spoiler ???

I have been thinking for awhile putting these on my Z06 = http://www.andysautosport.com/produc..._04011001.html

Do you guys think they are lame or cool

If you have a set that you don't want what do you want for them ?

Before you pull the trigger on the RK canards take
a look at RJ Hartman Racing canards you can get them
for as little as $150.
A street car will never need a canard for other than looks.
But if you race they produce downforce and if you have enough horsepower the drag will not hurt you.
I went with the Hartman canard.
Good luck.

I went to the site and could not find $150.00 canards - could you post a link to the ones you bought ?

It's not my car or money and everyone has different taste in mods, but those canards just don't do it for me.

At the end of the day it's your car. I would hate to think that we would dictate what you do to it.

If you "really" like it, go for it!
