The canards are not my cup of tea but I am a fan of the lip for sure..

I am going to take pictures of it on my car unpainted and installed and than paint matched to my PW and installed...

Gotcha. Was gonna say, no way only tape was holding those down.

Haha, I hear you. Kinda wish functional aero upgrades (canards, wings, splitters) didn't get the bad wrap because a couple of 90hp Civic DX's in the 1990's decided to put them on.

I don't really think that's the problem. Any car guy can tell the difference between a pep-boys ricer wing and a functional race wing. It just looks "wrong" on a street car, IMO. Wings and crazy vents and other aero bits as well as graphics and decals belong on the track... a cleaner look is more "appropriate" for the street.

This, of course, is all my personal opinion.

Someone from Stillen needs to get in here and post more pictures! I know they have them!!!!

I certainly see that point. And I'm not down with people putting on canards and wings who never see a track. I was just saying, people who track their daily drivers shouldn't have to put up with being lumped into the "ricer" category when they are doing it for a functional purpose. Hard to remove a wing and canards during the weekdays unless you want to drive around with holes in your car. But, I guess we differ there. And that's cool.

It's really no big deal. You'd have to be a major d-bag to go up to a guy like Mike and tell him he's a ricer because he runs a functional race wing on a car that sees the track a lot. I sure as hell wouldn't think that.

And usually it's pretty easy to tell who's real and who's not. If I ever saw a hellaflush car with a huge track wing on it'd be pretty obvious that it's all show.

What is the purpose of these?!!!! They look cool, but don't look like a performance mod

Oh they are very much a performance mod... granted you don't see the benefit driving around town. But for a car that sees track time, the front splitter and canards generate down force for added grip.

As far as the material, with as low as this car sits, I would not consider any fiberglass lip. I have no problems with urethane constuction. I am lowered on eibachs so I am a touch concerned with driveways n such but I dont think I wont be able to manage.

I def want to see pics of that, maybe even black out the fangs & the middle section of the lip.

For the track guys, I wonder how functional both of these mods are. Hopefully someone from Stillen can chime in. Also, any under pics of the splitter and how does it attach to the car?

They should be pretty functional. The splitter is nice and flat, which is important, and the canards are plenty large enough to catch enough air.

Bster · 05-06-2010, 12:07 AM

It looks kinda round... I'd prefer something more angular to match with the lines of the car...

Ricochet48 · 05-06-2010, 02:39 PM

I would love to see these if CF on a white Z with the EVOR (sp?) CF fang overlay. That would be very aggressive looking imo.
