unless you actually do the 127 mph that the car is capable of, canards aren't going to do anything besides be there for looks. Under normal driving conditions, even on the highway, the windpseed just isnt enough to make any serious downforce additions. hell, even at top speed, i would bet they wouldn't do much.
