I've seen it. It kinda looks like the car has a bad case of "hangnail" and you just wanna walk up to it and yank the things off. Looks a bit goofy and out of place.

OK, I'll give ya this one.
I've just converted to the AP2 front bumper and OEM lip. You may be right. I was thinking about the one I saw on an AP1 bumper and no lip. It just looked weird.

Uhh yea I can just picture how nasty that would look...

First of all the bumper is just lacking all authority... I think the OEM AP1 bumper is nice, but its just not imposing enough... and that with something like canards would just be like

And second of all, the AP1 has those fake brake duct openings so I can't even see where the canards would go... the only places I can think of...would... DEFINITELY make it looks pretty ugly...

So I see why you are against canards on an OEM bumper
