Amuse front with Canard?
 
3 Attachment(s)
How does these canards look on the amuse z?

DEpointfive0 08-02-2013 09:34 PM

I think Canards look retarded on a road car, so "no" by me

w0rM 08-02-2013 09:35 PM

I'm not a fan either.

Canards are not efficient for down force, they produce more drag than they are worth. The main benefit is to create a vortex past the wheel well; which these are not doing.

Race inspired cosmetic enhancement.

Arrvaxx 08-02-2013 09:42 PM

Sorry, I have to agree. They might be ok with some front ends but ruin the lines of the Amuse.

I don't think it improves the look of the car. But it's your car so do what you feel~

DarkJak 08-03-2013 06:15 AM

I don't think it looks bad, but it does look better without.

Don't hold back Andrew, tell us what you really think. :bowrofl:

I really don't see the difference between canards and the wings, spoilers, side blades and other mods we do to our cars. It's all about personal choice. There are a couple of cars on the forum that look really good with canards. I doubt seriously if there is any aero benefit from the duck tail I put on my car.

When you put it out there for people's opinions, expect to get some honest answers.

On this one - the canards are mounted too high. I don't think the Amuse front end lends itself to canard installation.

Don't do it

I think that looks great. Maybe the OP just has the wrong canards because these fit the lines of the bumper perfectly.

AdamRacer 08-03-2013 11:07 AM

That orange Z does look awesome and the canards on it look alright in my opinion. Although on your Z I think the amuse looks better without them. Again your personal choice just my :twocents:

SgtGoldy 08-03-2013 11:08 AM

It'd have to go with the lines. I'm not too big of a fan of em simply because a lot of people place them in bad spots.

KaienZ34 08-03-2013 11:15 AM

I don't really like the canards, but the OP can sell me the winglets at the bottom of his bumper. ;)

cooltoy 08-03-2013 12:20 PM

The location of the canards on the orange car is much better then on the OP's car. That's the difference between looking good and not.

haha, I think there is a replica CF version for sale some where. My ARC are very hard to find now days!


the canard location on the orange z is best, but the canards need modification to fit.. and im lazy lol.

my buddies 350z with nismo v2 bumper got in an accident, and the canards were still good so i was playing around with it. I cant get passed the fact that i need to drill 4 holes per side to install canards... so i probably wont install it in the current location

Z34_Nismo 08-03-2013 01:32 PM

Anyone know what type of hood that is?

Much too busy of a hood for me. I like mine with a set of simple vents.

Do it. Drill a hole !! :bowrofl:

How many fins, canards, dips, lips, wings does such a lil car need? My vote, no canards.

cooltoy 12-17-2013 09:10 AM

Agreed :iagree:

Amuse370z 12-21-2013 01:10 AM

The entire lip kit + canard is a win.

If a company created the exact same add-ons, I'm sure it'll get alot of sales.

The hood is very cool as well

Riptide67 12-21-2013 11:07 AM

They don't flow well on OP's car. Perhaps if the placement were different. Orange Amuse hit the nail on the head a little better. I'm still not into canards though.
