Have you thought about the angles of each canards and what effects each has on the car's overall front end downforce? What about the coefficient of drag? It looks to me that things weren't clearly thought out, at least not logically and with performance in mind, and that you only increased the drag and front end downforce to a point where it's unnecessary and even gaudy.

Additionally, I'm not sure if you've even considered the actual integrity of the bumper itself. The bumper only attaches itself onto the car at a handful amount of places with minimal amount of support for the actual bumper itself. Adding that much extra force, both towards the back and down, seems like it would deform the bumper (temporarily) at high velocity, consequently reaching a breaking point down the line at an earlier than planned interval. If the bumper is in fact being deformed, then you're at a worse place than it already was if everything was stable.

Just my 2 cents.


On a different note, the color's probably one of the best custom colors I've seen, though.
I just thought it looked cool... pretty sure its not a chop

Ah thought it was a chop because of the color and headlights, looks kinda like paint.

But where did you see this super aggressive Z?
