what do u think about canards on a hatch?

 

whats a canard?

 

i think they are the splitters that go on the front of the bumper to put downforce on the front....

i want to get some for my hatch for the mountains.. seems like it would be a good idea

 

As far as carbon fiber goes, i'm all for it. But seriously, what the hell is a canard?

Racing = yes

Daily bling = no... just my .02

 

How does it hold on to the bumper? Just curious.

Usually rivits... but people around here have been known to ghetto it up with screws or even bolts!

... by here I mean where I live.

 

I like em along with some arc/j's racing/z-speed bottom splitters they look mad tight yo and I'm being serious

 

its screwed on to the bumper from the underside

 

which hatch are u putting it on? eg or ek? if its an eg i think they look pretty nice with spoon lip i remember one guy on honda-tech was making canards for 92-95 civic hatchs and they looked nice

im pretty sure they are meant to get air flow to the brakes, keeping them cool in the process. They are completely useless on a street car. Maybe if you were racing in the Le Mans you might want to consider them.

pretty sure it was downforce

 

yah figuring why would they be on the outside of the bumper??? when the brakes would get no air from them??? im also pretty damn shure they are for downforce.. and when your going about 80- 110 through the mountains im shure it would help..

 

they are meant for downforce and we used to have that same car in the pic.... i miss jtd

 

Exactly, if you're going to actually use them for the purpose they were made for, yes. But if it's just to show off.. No.

you dont drive a f1 car you dont need that much downforce

 

they serve to purpose to a daily driven civic.. of all things... they are totally for show.. buy them if you can just **** money or else dont waste your time....
