Quick question to 6LE if you read this, but where are the canards going to go on the car? I'm assuming 'canards' are those small slightly raised pieces that some cars put on the front bumpers. Where would these be put?
I didn't want to post pics until after Monday (when I have side splitters on, canards powdercoated and on, car cleaned, etc... all for LA Invasion) but you guys have been waiting awhile so AS LONG AS you don't judge the finished LOOK by what you see in raw aluminum I'll keep these pics up...

Here's what the raw prototypes (still need side mounting screw holes) look like...







They will also have three holes to mount for the top part just still working on placement...

You can order them raw like this (cheapest option), powdercoated a black texture (to look like the ABS splitters) by me or I'll have a third option where I ship them straight to Sean (SilverGhost) to be powdered the color of your choice (some body colored pieces would look good )... Still waiting on pricing though, have to find out how much material will cost (just cut these from scrap).

Here's the front Canard Prototypes on my car...







Since I know some people lack imaginiation I threw some black Gorilla Tape on there just to give you a better visual of the finished product...









I can't wait to get a chance to get it all on

WOW. I know I'm bringing a thread back from the dead but I pulled it up to get pics to send to Emblempros as I'm about to order three of these for my car (with a red 6) and want to clarify which one...

Anyways, it was a fun 4am read and cool to see people were already saying good things about us 2 years ago... and man to think of all the stuff we've come out with since this thread
