Review: J's Racing EK CF Canards

[EK1.6LCIV]

J's Racing Canards


Upon arrival you get two very well crafted pieces of carbon fibre along with the required brackets, washers, nuts and screws. This kit was bought from JDMConcept and arrived in perfect condition, props for brilliant service :thumbsup:

Then you will need to drill in three holes in each canard for your brackets to be held into place with, **caution is advised**, if above all else please go to a body shop for this if you're not feeling confident as fixing cf is not a great task.** So we did some mock ups on the car and aligned the canards and bent the brackets to suit the required angle we were after.

We then drilled into the front bar using the mounting brackets as a guide, then with the bar off attached the nuts, screws and washers up to the brackets. All of which lined up perfectly.

Although with some aftermarket products alterations have to be made and on the one side we had to shave some of the canard off on the inside to sit completely flush with the factory front bar.

But in the end they mounted very well with only minor adjustments having to be made and fitted up in a little over an hour, they do make these canards for EG, EK and DC2 models as well fitting the same with a brilliant finish. But here it is in the end.

been looking at the mirrors, have to see them on my mates car when they arrive, they do look the goods tho, so does their bonnet :cool:

i thought you were gonna review the downforce it provides :P

i'd probably paint those screws black or something
they're too noticeable on the canards

hello defect.

[EK1.6LCIV]

lol, yea we were going to paint them Cypress green or black, haven't decided. They do fit well, was going to get the big fan at the body shop and some small bits of paper to see if they do infact work in terms of aero, more looks than anything I'd say, good thing they weigh bugger all :)

Defective if caught, and this car gets out once a week if it's lucky, I'm not overly worried tow hooks go on next week along with stickers for the hill climb :)
