I like the canards on the V2. That's why I have mine on.

I personally like the canards in a contrast to the vehicle. For instance; white vehicle black canards. Black Center Grill(Mouth and Black lip.

I say start w/o them and add them if you decide.

Going backwards after they're installed is considerably
More difficult and will require you to repaint the whole
Bumper.

I've been there and done that. Personally prefer a very clean
Look.

Have the painter paint the canards so they're ready to go.

I just ordered canards for mine. I like the look without, but I like it more with. Especially since I have the 2-tone going on already.

It's just preference dude, no right or wrong.

Although, I was on the freeway and the car in front of me ran over a piece of wood and it was flung into my bumper and it actually flew off the canard and damaged my fender

I'm getting my bumper on soon as well, going canard-less, go on the Nismo V2 thread, there's nothing but V2 bumpers on there, maybe it'll help you make a choice
