Are you talking about adding the stage 3's to the front splitter like these? I bought mine from Extreme Online Store because I was looking for matching carbon fiber. Quality is pretty good and fit was great. No issues. Here's a whole write up I did on them if you're interested.

Try using the search function. You should get some hits on canards.

I have had the APR Performance canards on my car for many years now.
They are very light and strong. They are also now about half the price of what they were when I got mine.
Had to do some cutting and bending then rivet them in place to make them work with my aftermarket intercooler ducts.
No issues with cracking or being flimsy at high speeds.

What splitter do you have right now? If it's the one on your avatar you may also need a stage 2 splitter that the canards work on. Adding the canards then make it a stage 3 splitter. Not all canards work on all splitters. You want to make sure they mate up perfectly so it looks right.

Actually, I was looking more for the type that attach directly to the fender, not the stage 3 style. Those are really designed for the Z06 or GS. You need the fender extensions for those to look right and there is no extension for the front fender for the base.

I haven't seen any that connect to the fender. APR is the only one I'm aware of with decent canards that bolt to the front bumper.

I should have been a little clearer, but that is what I am looking for, except all I find are in Carbon Fiber and everything aero piece is in carbon flash to match the factory.

Yes, this is what I though you meant.
I have the same ones as the white car, but they are hard to see on black.
Just scuff the clear up and paint them carbon flash. The paint is readily available in little spray cans.
