Looks like the weaves aren't even great either.
Not to be mean though, just pointing it out.

Right...those are called Canards. I think you can get a pair on A&J racing for something like $250.00. But the ones they sell are longer and have a lip to help keep air from slipping off the surface area.

They are used to help keep the front end of the car down, but I see little use on a daily driven car.

They are canards,

and while they may look cool as hell, on applications that arent geared towards full track racing, and even so, on applications that arent geared to be flying down the track so fast that they stand to lift off and sail for the heavens, they are only going to create more violent currents of airflow around the car and slow it down--

--generally speaking they have to be used in conjunction with a complimentary aero kit that will ground the car

They are used to break up the air on the sides of car to avoid the low pressure air from escaping from under the car, obviously when used correctly with a full aero system.
