This range covers carbon fibre canards from APR Performance, Varis and Seibon, each shaped for a specific vehicle's bumper. Browse more aerodynamic and styling parts in Exterior and Aero.

- Chassis code and year: Several models are split by year range, such as the Subaru WRX STI 2015–2017 and 2018–2021, the Nissan GT-R R35 2012–2016 and 2017–2022, and the Ford Mustang S550 2015–2017 and 2018–2023. Other ranges include the Mustang S650, Honda Civic Type R FK8 and FL5, Toyota 86, GR86 and GR Supra, Subaru BRZ and WRX, Porsche 991.1 GT3, 981 Cayman GT4 and 718 Cayman GT4, Lotus Elise and Exige, Chevrolet Corvette C8, and BMW F80 M3 and F82 M4.
- Position: Some vehicles offer more than one style, such as upper canards and front bumper bottom canards for the Subaru WRX STI.
- Single or double: Most canards are single-element. The Varis ARISING-1 Evo Carbon Double Canards for the Civic Type R FL5 use a double-element design.
- Pair or set: Check each listing to see whether it is sold as a single canard, a pair or a set.
- Brand: Choose from APR Performance, Varis and Seibon.
