Very interested! I like the Adjust. Canards that's such a great idea. I don't see any other aftermarket canards that adjust on the market. Nice JOB!

That's the idea. When I decided I wanted canards for my car I looked around at what was available in the market and I didn't really like anything, especially for the stock bumper. Some of the aftermarket bumpers have nice canards, like Voltex; but they are BIG money and still non-adjustable.

I'll photoshop the rivets black for all you haters of the industrial look, and see what you think.

I've got a track day in Mid-June where I'll be testing. I'll be making some high-speed pulls as well to verify they are robust.

As an engineer I did by best to select appropriate fasteners for the job. The two adjustment studs/bolts that mount to the fender are 1/4" and use large fender washers on each side to distribute the load. The front bracket is held in place by two #10's with washers. The canard is then riveted to the brackets with a total 7 fasteners.

I'm sure it would look a lot better all-black.

It's funny most of the track guys say who cares. But I'll end up powder coating everything black.

It has been for the past 3 years, but it has nearly 100K on it and it's getting a 2.3l motor, GT30R and will be left to track duty and screwing around, I'm getting another car to commute in.

I like the idea of the adjustable cannards. I am interested to see what you decide to do to the rear. The stock bumper does need some kind of venting. Also I am loving the lowering brackets Keep up the good work! Looking forward to more innovative products.
