Amuse front with Canard?

How does these canards look on the amuse z?

DEpointfive0 · 08-02-2013, 10:34 PM

I think Canards look retarded on a road car, so "no" by me

w0rM · 08-02-2013, 10:35 PM

I'm not a fan either.

Canards are not efficient for down force, they produce more drag than they are worth. The main benefit is to create a vortex past the wheel well; which these are not doing.

Race inspired cosmetic enhancement.

Sorry, I have to agree. They might be ok with some front ends but ruin the lines of the Amuse.

I don't think it improves the look of the car. But it's your car so do what you feel~

I don't think it looks bad, but it does look better without.

Don't hold back Andrew, tell us what you really think.

I really don't see the difference between canards and the wings, spoilers, side blades and other mods we do to our cars. It's all about personal choice. There are a couple of cars on the forum that look really good with canards. I doubt seriously if there is any aero benefit from the duck tail I put on my car.

When you put it out there for people's opinions, expect to get some honest answers.

On this one - the canards are mounted too high. I don't think the Amuse front end lends itself to canard installation.

Don't do it

That orange Z does look awesome and the canards on it look alright in my opinion. Although on your Z I think the amuse looks better without them. Again your personal choice just my

SgtGoldy · 08-03-2013, 12:08 PM

It'd have to go with the lines. I'm not too big of a fan of em simply because a lot of people place them in bad spots.

KaienZ34 · 08-03-2013, 12:15 PM

I don't really like the canards, but the OP can sell me the winglets at the bottom of his bumper.

The location of the canards on the orange car is much better then on the OP's car. That's the difference between looking good and not.
