What are the "fin" type things that go on the bumper?

Why can I not find many threads about these? Are they considered to be RICE? I guess it doesn't matter because I can't find any made for the Nismo bumper.

A bumper canard has a legitimate benefit in that it provides downforce in the front for actual race cars. Very few people here drive actual race cars, or get up to speeds (on a racetrack of course) where this would have a real benefit.
