So I was looking for something new to add today and my friend mentioned he had some extra Orange Carbon Fiber. I've been wanting canards for a while so I decided today was a perfect day for a new project. Check out the pics below, yes it's real CF and I lined the edges with the stuff that's suppose to protect your the edge of your car doors when you open it. We mounted them with Elbow brackets from Home Depot, and rivet them in. We also made some back ones as well since we had extra, and I feel it matched the the front really well and complimented the rear bumper. Let me know what you guys think...

 

that looks sweet bro
awosme job

 

You did a good job putting it on and it looks clean but I'm not a fan of it. I woulda left it the way it was. There is a thing of doing too much to a car but whatever floats your boat I guess. I think the car looked bad ass with the hood, body kit,and rims.

 

little to much for me, but you did an amazing job!

 

the front of the car has way too much going on, i'm a fan of simple styling.

 

yea i'm not a fan of that at all.......dude i need that front bumper i'll lose the canards

 

I wish they would make a front and rear diffuser but I don't like that at all.Guess it matches the rest of the car.Did you make sure you aligned them perfectly balanced?

 

thanks all for the feedback...I mainly put them on because they get points at shows, it's just something a little extra ya know, but I do agree there's a lot going on in the front of the car, but atleast it's not too heesy I hope. I really do appreciate you guys complimenting my work, even though it's not your style, everyone's entitled to their opinion and their likings...thanks again!!!


the are aligned parallel to each other, however we noticed that the body kit, since made of fiberglass, wasn't exactly the same on both sides so the curves along the body are different, also we had to take an extra inch of the rear passenger side cause the rear bumper wasn't symmetrical either.

 

its cheesy sorry...some times less is more

 

I can also take them off when I get tired of them i suppose

 

what bout the front ones looks like you screwed them in....wood screws?

 

And have a bunch of holes in a fiberglass bumper.

Read the post.
..Rivet

really small rivets, not screws. The holes are about the size of a tip of a pen, it's a quick fix to fill in with bondo and spray paint if I really wanted to.

 

yea spary paint wont win many awards sorry

 

enough said

 

it's so small you wouldn't even noticed it, I actually scraped my bumper before and used the GM color match, can't even tell

 

meh.. not a fan of it bro.. i really liked your car without them on.

 

nice job. The front ones look kinda cool, dont like the rears. Of course im not a fan of that type of thing, but you did a great job.

 

great...now I'm rethinking them and they've only been on a couple hours. I'm going to talk to my buddy who judges for HIN and see what he says about the possible points

 

i think the fronts go with your theme well and compliment the setup, but the rear just looks odd to me...

 

I think it takes something like this to pull it off (Sure he doesn't have it for looks) and it still sorta looks funny.

 

looks good.love that hood!!!

 

yeah you did a very nice job of installing them. but something about canards on our cars just don't fit.

 

it looks like you did a good job making em, but really i dont feel like they coplment the lines of the cobalt., since the cobalt is a little more rounded aas a car, so the sharper angles of the canards dont realy compliment that imo
