??Are you talking about on a stock bumper?
If so,Varis makes the best...but,CF&super expensive.
They fit over the bottom of the side reflectors.
Aftermarket,the Nismo V2 bumper works with the optional
canards.
Canards are a item that you either like or don't like the
look.I've got small canard-type parts on my stock bumper
that are called vectors.

canards.. create vorticies before each wheel opening, cutting up airflow and minimizing the turbulence inside the wheel wells.
You can imagine this requires speed.

ie, no canards for looks unless you have a NIsmo nose, then its obligatory.

Otherwise, you had better have a very fast track car or its silly IMHO.
Then again, MHO should only matter to me.

Unless you are going to come back and tell us how the additional front downforce increased your front grip then it is kinda ricey.
