I gotta say that looks pretty good, better than I thought it would look.. If you get the front splitter and the canards all powdercoat Wet Black it would look damn good.

Speaking of that, does your front splitter material hold up to high heat?

No but we can make the splitter out of any material you want. We can also make it and the canard all one piece (in a metal, not in the ABS)...

It is wavy in some places because I forgot to put spacers back in when I did the canard test (forgot to tighten a bolt here and there if you look hard enough ).

Front canards look great and I imagine the rear canards looking good as well. I'm gonna end up putting these on before the brake conversion I just got from you lol.

Speaking of that... How many spacers did it come with? You should have 2 round and 2 half round with a flat edge.

I found a spacer set in the back of my car and am wondering where in the hell it came from

Nah, no instructions You just unbolt your four factory bolts and bolt the bracket on, then bolt the caliper to the bracket and make sure you slide the spacers on

I must have made my machinist cut spacers I already had then

Couldn't wait to put the canards on so I did it tonight... Tried to take pics, thought they came out ok but they SUCK

Here they are anyways...















Working General Hospital tomorrow and have to try to get out to Sun Valley to pic stuff up for Invasion... I'll try to get pics before the sun goes down but no promises.

Looks 1000xs better in person though (with the canards)
