APR Carbon Fiber Front Bumper Canards
2005–2010 Scion tC
AB-520014
Overview:
The APR Carbon Fiber Front Bumper Canards are precision-engineered aerodynamic components designed specifically for the 2005–2010 Scion tC. These canards enhance the vehicle's front-end downforce, improving high-speed stability and cornering performance. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking to optimize their car’s handling dynamics, these canards provide a functional upgrade that complements both street and track driving.
Crafted from premium carbon fiber composites, the canards offer a lightweight yet durable solution to fine-tune airflow around the front bumper. By increasing front downforce, they help stabilize the chassis during aggressive maneuvers, resulting in improved traction and more confident handling.
Key Features:
Designed with performance and durability in mind, the APR Carbon Fiber Front Bumper Canards deliver several key benefits:
- Carbon Fiber Construction: Made from layered carbon fiber sheets with a carbon graphite core, providing an optimal balance of lightweight strength and rigidity.
- Aluminum Edging: Each canard features aluminum edging to prevent airflow from easily spilling off the edges, enhancing aerodynamic efficiency.
- Improved Front Downforce: Increases downforce at the front axle to stabilize the chassis during high-speed cornering.
- Enhanced Traction: Helps maintain tire contact and grip, contributing to faster lap times and improved handling precision.
- Custom Fitment: Specifically designed to fit the front bumper of the 2005–2010 Scion tC for seamless integration.
- Durability: Resistant to road debris and environmental factors thanks to the robust carbon fiber composite material.
- Complete Mounting Hardware: Includes all necessary screws, nuts, and bolts for straightforward installation.
Construction & Design:
The APR Front Bumper Canards are expertly crafted from high-grade carbon fiber composites, combining multiple layers of carbon fiber sheets with a carbon graphite core. This construction method ensures exceptional strength while keeping weight to a minimum, a critical factor for maintaining vehicle balance and responsiveness.
The addition of aluminum edging around each canard serves a dual purpose: it reinforces the edges against damage and optimizes airflow by preventing air from peeling off prematurely. This thoughtful design detail enhances the aerodynamic effectiveness of the canards, contributing to improved front-end grip and stability.
Performance & Sound
By increasing front downforce, these canards improve the Scion tC’s handling characteristics, especially during high-speed cornering and track driving. The enhanced aerodynamic grip helps reduce understeer and chassis flex, allowing for more precise steering input and better overall control. While primarily focused on aerodynamic performance, these canards do not affect engine sound or exhaust tone.
Installation & Fitment:
The APR Carbon Fiber Front Bumper Canards are designed for direct fitment on the 2005–2010 Scion tC front bumper. Installation is straightforward with the included mounting hardware, requiring no major modifications or special tools. Proper alignment and secure fastening ensure optimal aerodynamic function and a clean, factory-like appearance.
