got a set of universal canards mounted them on today.

 

WTF??????

 

I'm gonna agree with Smokey on this one...

 

okay...what is it?

 

lol, that looks so effin ugly, paint them white or something... please! It sends a mixed message.

 

It French for "duck."

 

So it means duck? What's the purpose, to shoo small migratory water fowl out of the path of the XA, simliar to the cow thing on the front of a train?

Surely its not to redirect air from directly hitting the tire?

 

 

oh boy...

 

Being French, it could have several functions, such as:
1. Create a wind noise which clears migratory waterfowl from the roads;
2. Cause down force in order to keep the front end down when speeds exceed 180 mph;
3. A place to display a white flag;
4. A curb feeler;
5. A wine rack;
Come on guys, we can figure this out!

 

ouch...i rarely ever see people rag on others mods. thats tough

 

Its all in good fun. I support freedom of expression and admire ppl who are innovative. No harm intended. Would like to know what it does though.

 

I'd like to know also. And would it be poss/reasonable to "poke" them through the bumper? (Instead of bolting them on.)

 

They provide better downforce on the front end at high speeds. Would have gotten the CF ones though.

 

I can't imagine these being universal. Wouldn't you need a wind tunnel to calibrate the angle at maximum speed for each specific application?

 

Oh their universal. A lot of companies sell them. Because most people aren't getting them for the " downforce " or " performce " thought even.... I'd imagine they get it for the looks...giving it maybe an aggressive look? Who knows

 

I think they look good dude, don't listen to people when they are acting like this. I also strongly suggest people say what they want but not thread jack his post for a comedy routune on his mod. It isnt very cool, and odds are you wouldnt want it to happen to you.

 

It looks like fish gills.

 

I think they look awesome on the xA. That is the first xA I've seen with them on. APR Performance makes them in CF, the APR canards are universal.

I might get them when I work on the exterior.

 

maybe...lower the car...and add a universal splitter for a more agressive look...im sure the canards will really set it off then.
