Archetype Racing GT350 - Evolution Is Inevitable

Any more info on the canards?
That splitter is money. I assume it's only for the non R model.

Something is in the works to accommodate the standard 350 splitter also. @EIGHTLUG can confirm

Standard GT350 FP350S style splitters are in production. The first four are slated to ship after New Years. DM me if you want more info.

As far as the canards go, they are offered in both matte and gloss finish and with and without winglets. View attachment 421880

The canards look great. I bought the zl1 add-on side wings that resemble the new gt 500. I have to see how the car looks first with those installed in the spring before I add any canards.

Is there any drilling involved to mount the canards ?

There are three mounting methods for the canards.

1. Drill holes (8 in total), remove your fascia, and install the supplied nuts, bolts and washers through the canards and into your front fascia.
2. Drill holes (8 in total), install supplied riv nuts and bolt the canards on. This is what I did, since I removed and installed several pairs of canards during R&D.
   
3. Use IPA to clean the mounting surface. Use 3M Adhesive Promoter and install using double sided tape.

The double sided tape method will work. You have roughly 25" of mating surface on each canard. Per CFD, they do produce 39 lbs of downforce each. The trick in making it bond correctly is all on the prep. You will have plenty of adhesion.

Per 3M's testing:
3M Scotch 4950 VHB Double-Sided Tape
This tape has 400 ounces per inch of adhesion. Ideal for interior and exterior structural bonding applications, 3M 4950 Double-Sided tape can even be used to replace rivets.
-400 oz. converts to 25 lbs.
