• Lightweight Design: Minimizes added weight to preserve vehicle dynamics.
• Enhanced Aerodynamic Tuning: Helps balance front-end grip for improved lap times and driving confidence.

Construction & Design:

The APR Front Bumper Canards are crafted from high-quality carbon fiber composites using advanced pre-preg manufacturing techniques. This process ensures a consistent fiber-to-resin ratio, resulting in a durable yet lightweight component that withstands the rigors of spirited driving. The carbon fiber weave is coated with a UV-resistant epoxy and clear coat, protecting the finish from sun damage and environmental wear while maintaining a sleek, glossy appearance.

Each canard is meticulously shaped to complement the contours of the APR GT Front Bumper, ensuring seamless integration and a professional, factory-quality look. The aerodynamic profile is optimized to generate downforce without excessive drag, contributing to improved front-end grip and vehicle stability.

Performance & Sound

By increasing front downforce, these canards help stabilize the chassis during aggressive cornering, reducing understeer and enhancing overall handling precision. This aerodynamic enhancement allows drivers to maintain higher speeds through turns with increased confidence and traction. While the canards do not directly affect engine sound, their contribution to vehicle dynamics supports a more controlled and engaging driving experience.

Installation & Fitment:

The APR Carbon Fiber Front Bumper Canards are designed for direct bolt-on installation to the APR GT Front Bumper on the 2013–2016 Scion FR-S. Installation requires no cutting or modification to the bumper, making it a straightforward upgrade for enthusiasts with basic mechanical skills. All necessary mounting hardware is included, allowing for secure and precise attachment. Proper alignment during installation ensures optimal aerodynamic performance and aesthetic appeal.
