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.

I think that looks great. Maybe the OP just has the wrong canards because these fit the lines of the bumper perfectly.

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

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