Default Canards: Yes or No?

I wanted to know if getting canards for my tC is worth it. Also, if i were to get them, which set fit: set A or set B? And while i am talking about aerodynamics, is a wind splitter worth it?

i dont know. on Brad's xB they look tight as hell. I didnt think they would, but they look awesome.

just personal preference I guess. Depends also on what you have on their and in what direction you wanna take your scion

No, please don't uglify your tC's clean classy lines with those useless things.
That's what Eclipses and Tiburons are made for! JMO!

Oh and the fact, are they worth it?

I forgot to address that. It's all prerfernce. Are a ton of neons under your feet worth it? It depends if you like it.
It depends on your price budget. You can get a lot of other things that are more noticeable to the driver.

Neither those nor the windsplitter will have ANY function. Thats just the way it is. On a tC, theyre for looks completely.

Are they functional?? Hell no. Do you like the looks? If so get them. The car only runs 127 max, and realistically you may see 85 regularly... so they are as functional as any wing is (on a normal street car) , which is not at all. Plus, if you start looking into the physics of them, related to the size you would have to be moving pretty damned fast for them to even make a difference. But like I said, if you like the way they look, then get them. It is your car and you are the one that should be happy with it.

I kind of hope that someone punched that guy in the face after he made that commercial.

That being said, they serve no purpose and (IMO), they don't really look that great either. Save your money... or spend it on something else.
