Well yeah, the canards(air guides) would help. But not very much in normal driving. There wouldn't be noticeable difference till around 90+ mph. If you were going to the track, it would be a nice thing to have, granted the track being one of the high speed one's...
I think they look bad-***, if you want canards for looks, why not?
But then you'd have to buy the wing

ya i know, and yes they do look "badass".....hey as far as the wing....right now i have a UAS AERO rear wing (or something that looks like it), and i wanted one that looks like veilside's AE062-07, what type of wing do you think will help with aerodynamics (i know that most wings are just for looks but some do help)

How much $ we talkin'? APR has a few nice universal GT class wings. However they are expensive(carbon fiber) at around $800+
Stillen has the type III wing(nice and simple) for about $400.
Greddy and some other's make nice wing too. If your for the function, GT wings are the way to go.

whats up everyone.....well recently i just got back from bakersfield (long but fun drive) and i had the motivation to clean my filter, radiator and change my transmission fluid.....my car is way faster since i cleaned the filter, my transmission doesn't heat up as much and my radiator is finally running clean coolant....but anyways my questions is that while i was cleaning my stillen performance filter i noticed that the stocked air box is still connected to the intake system however it doesn't have a filter over the opening (not sure if this is where the filter is but the stock intake that i seen was under the driving lights), so what i was wondering if i put k&n filters on the ends would that give me more performance or should i block the stock intake from the rest of the intake (eg. throttle bodies)....

ok but it is still connected to the intake system so should i custom make a filter case and put a filter on both of them? should that add to my performance or should i just disconnect them from my intake system?

whatever filter you pick, just dont get Fram. OEMs are great, but you have to get them from somewhere like courtesy or the stealership. i use the K&N because they are great filters and i can get them at the local auto parts store.

the pipes your talking about is used to catch any water that may get thru the intake filter.
heres a thread about it

snw...theres nothing wrong with k&n oil filters. a lot of people recommend them
just a note about AMZ...theyre not the most collected vendor all the time. your order might get thru fine, or you may have continous contact problems with them.

unless cardboard is good for engine break-ins, then you should stay away from FRAM.
WIX filters are also very good and are far less expensive than K&N. I buy mine from NAPA Auto Parts.
Check out Rizz's link page for the oil filter comparison.
