I don't understand it. What's it suppose to do? And can't you cut yourself on the metal ones? That must be why the buy used cardboard or a rubber floor mat on the other ones.

:dunno:

those are canards....of course those are all fake homemade/APC kinds... except the ones on the JDM ITR front end car...those look like the actual ones track cars use...of course its all completely useless on the street. its for added downforce at the track.

however, the first two cars..... they dont do shit except imitate that look (and not so good either) because theyre practically horizontal. :slap:

Because you know, my probe goes that fast that I need more downforce.

edit: thanks for explaining this to me though.
