Nothing says "I'm totally serious" quite like a set of canards on the front end of your ride. Even if you don't frequent the racetrack, installing Kia Optima canards will still give you some of the benefits and will also make your vehicle look mean as heck, just like the GT cars whose style they mimic. If you do happen to hit the track every so often, you'll notice increased traction and faster corner speeds.

Canards increase the downforce on the front of your vehicle, helping it stick to the road or the racetrack. When used in conjunction with an adjustable front splitter and an adjustable rear wing, Kia Optima canards can help your ride perform better than ever at high speeds and in turns, giving more stability than would be possible without them. Installing Kia Optima canards can be as simple as using double-sided tape, but for maximum strength we recommend using bolts or rivets to secure them to your Kia Optima bumper.

Q: What do canards do? Why buy canards?
A: Canards are designed to provide downforce on the front end of the car. Just like the spoiler on a car, canards add drag but help keep the front of the car planted when higher speeds are reached. Canards are usually made of plastic, carbon fiber or fiberglass and are relatively inexpensive. They also add a custom, fashionable look to your car.

Q: How do you install canards?
A: Canards are installed onto your existing bumper and are attached by double sided tape or using self-tapping screws on the bottom side.
