Default 718 GT4 Dive Planes/Canards

Anyone have these on their 718 GT4? If you do, can you please post picture and link to where you got it from?

I like the new Dundon ones but it comes in only matte carbon, looking for gloss carbon.

thank you!

Based on the description and photos on the Dundon website, the canards are a gloss finish

Unless you are professionally racing your GT4 these are poser parts.

I mostly agree, aero downforce doesn't really come into play under 100MPH.

For increased mechanical grip under that you should be looking at aggressive alignment and tire compounds/tire width.

Thanks for the order @Shawn Hong ! The dive planes definitely help move the aero balance forward and will work very well with our forthcoming splitter and wing package.

Plus, they look cool

Do you planning on releasing side splitters as well?

GT4 CS?

OR

MR Racing.

The Civic GT4 is still a street car first. For racing applications and speeds that high, doesn't it make more sense to get a more extreme racing version from the start?

Not if you're competing in a class that only allows street cars

Didn't know that Honda had an entry in the GT4 racing category.
