Well, ya know, I guess it's a form of flattery. Everybody wants Moar racecar because faster, or something hip like that. So if you put a canard (or any other aero object) on a car that is capable of our speeds, then I think it looks fitting. Every manufacturer has a wing these days, which in most cars serves to add 10 lbs to the trunk and not much else. Not sure that factory Camry wing is doing much, but they sell a bunch, don't they?!

Links, try the 4.0 canards. I think they are not as big so they might look more DD'able. If that is what you are seeking.
If they look suttle (not stand out to much), I'll get a set

Like I said BBI makes a set that are a direct fit for the 996 bumper... BBI's look just like the ones in the link below.

^Me too, plus I bet the little blue honda makes more front down force with them. I actually just cut some for mine out of some leftover carbon from the racecar but haven't put them on yet.

I just might be the ginny pig, $530 from porsche is a little crazy for 2 pieces of plastic, then id probably paint them to match the bumper.... I am looking for something very subtle.
I could not find them on BBIs site but I will get around to contacting them.... The link is a great resource, I found Orbits in CF which are a little bulkier then OEM porsche and CF, they are a nice option as well

Dean, let me know what you decide with going, I received EB works CF pieces, they're sitting in my garage, yet to be installed. Could be a nice lil weekend project DIY.

Sounds good...I've got some cold Corona's on deck in the garage, the install looks beyond straight forward, pretty sure the most difficult part is taking off the rear wheels (if needed). I'll shoot you a PM, maybe this weekend if I am around?

This is an old thread.... i ended up swapping to the RUF front bumper. Funny enough my car is still sitting in the detailer, I hope it doesn't snow again today so i can get it home this week without making a mess of it.
