Had a go at making some front canards rather than buying some for 100+ pounds. Not entirely sure i like the design but they should be functional coupled with the front splitter i'm making when the material turns up.
Thoughts?

Can't really decide without seeing the splitter/other shots.
is this purely going to be a track weapon?

That's all it is, have the accord in the background as a daily driver. Use this a couple of times a month to go to shows and car meets etc
I think like that they will look a bit rubbish, but i have the front splitter and 20mm front wheel spacers to go on oh and some 245 front tyres.

i think they will create too much drag from the wood and bricks

lol, on a serious note, if you do make some, put an ‘edge’ on them too, makes them more efficient

Hard to imagine but the front splitter will extend out the side of the bumper so it's level with the canard edge
Need to get some stabilzer rods for it though as the last one ripped it's self off, suppose that proves they create downforce though

Normally no, but I think they'd suit that car well

If it had a standard rear spoiler i'd say no, but since you've got the rear spoiler to balance it out, I think it could look good.

Kind of suit the lines of the car so I reckon they look good
