i can't answer your question or help but i would like to see the final look

FBP FG2 · 06-17-2008, 12:37 AM

I'm curious how this will look as well.

yuck, the canards are definitely too high. aren't they meant to be lower....like on the HFP lip??

mitsukaiSI · 06-17-2008, 10:21 AM

i agree that they are high. i dont know about being on the hfp they are pretty long they would have to be right on top of each other

rmfa · 06-17-2008, 10:39 AM

Is this for real? This looks seriously retarded imo...

mitsukaiSI · 06-17-2008, 10:47 AM

thanks for the opinions

FBP FG2 · 06-17-2008, 02:12 PM

I think the canards look good on some cars, but it's not working with the 8th gens and the oem bumper.

brzrkr626 · 06-17-2008, 02:24 PM

Canards look way too high.

shamshe · 06-17-2008, 04:09 PM
