RICE

not nice, lol

Canards are these little wings that are mounted on the sides of the bumper just before the front wheels. Racecars sometimes use these for additional downforce. If you put them on they will be just for the look. And my definition of rice encompasses anything that gives a "performance" look/sound without actually increasing performance.

Somehow the Solara doesnt strike me as a full racing type car, like a Celica would. It's like the Mercedes CLK, a pimp 2 door cruiser.

I agree ^ I think they look good when you got a car that will need it based on the suspension mods and how fast it can go. i.e. Gen2 MR2 would need it cause people are skeptical to travel over 120 cause it feels as if the car wants to take off. Keep in mind Mid-ship / Rear Wheel drive.
That along with a good front lip will keep the car down so you can travel in excess speeds. Otherwise if your not going to pass 80MPH it not worth it other then appearance. My opinion see.
