Arrow Nismo V2 Front Without Canards? How many did that?

I have seen this mentioned in threads here and there but wanted to get a sense for how many chose the bare look. V2 is a very clean bumper either way but I am somewhat undecisive. I bought the FRP bumper (minus canards; seller didn't have them) a few months ago and now that the Z is close to reappearing out of seasonal hibernation and getting it installed, I am pondering over this choice.

So as a side note, if you didn't choose to install your canards, let me know if you want to sell them in case I choose that route

same here man, i got the v2 and still undecided if i want them on. once you put them on, pretty much cant turn around and decide you dont want them no more, or else your'll have holes in your bumper, so make sure you make the right decision the first time

hell yeah. i think it looks 10x cleaner. I think canards look so damn ricey. The only drawback is since im used to seeing the v2 w/ canards, it kind of looks plain and empty.

Seems incomplete without them imo, it breaks it up a little. That's probably because I'm used to seeing them. Either way its a beautiful bumper!

I think that the color matched grill on the db looks better without, than the silver. The black or carbon canards on there would set it off more imo. I am going without the canards with a carbon lip and matched grill.

Very clean without the canards. I am also going to remove the license plate holder since it will not be used.
