I've been to a few car show since mounting and have gotten alot of positive comments/questions from people who own different makes of vehicles.
Another caveat is that I've noticed very little, if any, dusting on my rear qurters since mounting

^^This is only for the four. I only had time to make one set of mud guards and they went straight to Mark (fxgs). I can make a set if you want though, I'll hook you up at cost.

if ya dont mind may as well round out the look ya know?

Im so stoked about all of this, there in my bedroom and everytime i see em i wanna go put em on but i refuse to put em on till its completed. Im making sure it looks its best from the word go.

Has anybody tried any kind of high speed with em? Like say 140+? im interested to know how well they help the aerodynamics of the car, also dont wanna tear em off on accident.
A thought that came to me the other night was to put the adjustable braces from the bumper to splitter. Kinda like the NASCAR body. Not real sure how that might look but i was thinking in the shower lol.

Aerodynamics are a hot issue on here I'm leaving alone... My personal opinion and experience is that the front splitter helps GREATLY at high speeds and that the side splitters do nothing.

The canards are for looks, they are not for aero the way I make them...

ALL OF THE PIECES have gone 150+ with no problems as far as stability goes. The front splitter definitely does NOT need the bars you mention. What I send it with keeps it on with NO FLEX at 140+ on 3 cars that I have seen personally.

Nice

from how aero has been explained to me the canards will help anyway, they will force the air around the tire rather than let it under. side splitters look wicked no matter what and i thought of the bars as purely for looks too.

The abs plastic you make them out of is WAY more sturdy than the pictures show, plus its mounted flush with too many fastner's to get flimsy even with that amount of pressure.

what kinds of help have yall noticed with stability at high speed?

They're all going on my car no matter what! Im just askin questions cuz im a little bored haha I cant wait to be the only guy for 1000+ miles with em

Car just feels more planted at high speeds. Even my wife, when I put her GTO splitter on, commented that her car felt more stable and "stuck to the road" at highway speeds (100mph in Cali, lol) the next day. "Is it supposed to do that?" she asks, lol.

Anyways, I definitely noticed that on mine as did all my friends. I never mentioned it to her and she noticed it so I don't think it is mental.

Here's the video I made as a joke but the physics are real...

Don't worry, mine didn't come off at speed
And if you recall my earlier post after I mounted my canards , I had almost zero dusting on my rear quarters after mounting them.

Hey mark, has the hardware you sent to me been returned to you? i havent seen it yet and i know my mail mail carrier isnt much of a thinker. shed return it to sender instead of giving it to the office or leaving it at the local post office and leaving me a note.

I totally forgot that I had said I was mailing separately, I ended up putting all the hardware in the same box, you should have it all...
