I've succumb to fins...
ok...
im getting them..
but im not talking about the ones that go underneath the lip...(splitters?)
not the ones that portrude on each side...
the ones i want are just the "fins"...just two pieces that attach, one on each side of the car...
i searched and kept finding info about the arc/underbody front lip splitters...
where do i get the fins?

Re: I've succumb to fins... (yoshi234)
Please post any info on aero goodies.
Including the canards and the vortex generators (for the lower lip).
I'm sure Mike @ IPS has a lead ....
Anyway, I met someone a few weeks ago that built his own D Sports racer out of CF and Kevlar (mostly), and I need some ideas of what can be done to the stock front lip and rear spoiler for additional "beneficial" aerodynamics. Ed

Re: I've succumb to fins... (Racer-X)
Mike has yet to get back to me regarding the same inquiry 
Canards are pretty pricey--I got a quote from someone for $240 shipped. This really throws me, cuz in Option2 they are going for 5500 yean, which comes out to 45 bucks
I can't see myself spending $240 for them at the moment. They sure do look cool though.

Re: I've succumb to fins... (evergruven)
better highspeed stability?
if you sweat them so much, at least know what they do. it makes sense in my head anyway.

So I come to honda-tech to GET INFO from knowledeable people like yourself evergruven
thanks for the help
i'm aware that they do cause downforce...which increases traction to the power wheels...the fronts.

Re: I've succumb to fins... (comptechgsr)
According to a little thing in Option2 (translated by a friend) they also create a vaccuum that helps divert air into the wheelwells to help cool the brakes.
I just happen to think that they look cool. JDM or otherwise, it is the first aero add-on that I think looks good. I don't sweat JDM wings or lips, and I don't care of the canards I end up getting are from Top Fuel or Wings West. I simply think they look good.

Re: I've succumb to fins... ( Rob)
IMO The Canards do more than the Splitters.
My reason for the splitters - a different look since most don't have them and the fact that my car doesn't scrape the lip on my driveway anymore.
In all reality most people who put things like this on their car Aren't going to notice any major differences unless they track their car, and even then they probably still haven't learned how to push their car to its limits to realize the parts effect.

Alright. My utmost sincere apologies for adding my unnecessary sarcasm. It is his money, so yeah, go spend it for something that probably won't help at all, Mr "Muthafockin Stoplight Assassin". Like Mike just said "In all reality most people who put things like this on their car Aren't going to notice any major differences unless they track their car, and even then they probably still haven't learned how to push their car to its limits to realize the parts effect." Enough said.
