To be honest, I like the look. As far as functionality = fail for street cars. Although I have been thinking of a little more subtle look.

I have those APR canards and when I tape them on the stillen fascia to see how they would look like, IMO they didn't look good at all.

no can do..I sold them to a local ricer..he's sporing them on his POS civic

Why don't you just get some cardboard or card stock and cut out the canards and tape em on to your car to see how they would look like.

Some cars look good with them and some don't. The AC is one car that doesn't look right with canards.
