Carbon Fiber Canard Bumper Flaps are constructed of carbon graphite composite with aluminum leading edge. Canards increase front downforce at high speeds stabilizing the chassis during hard cornering. Found on many GT race cars, they allow you to customize your car front end downforce by either installing two flaps or creating maximum downforce with a full set of four canards.
While I'm impressed that someone in the ricer world actually has a large enough vocabulary to know the word "canard", it's a misapplication of the term. Their c/f addons pictured there are more properly termed "strakes".
