"Look mommy, it's a fish!" I think it looks goofy, but to each his own, right? What I find humorous is all those high quality materials providing downforce via double-sided stickytape! The ones in your pics may actually be bolted, which would be a little more respectable.That is a jam-up little Focus, though, despite the bumper gills. I wish someone made a headlight assembly like that for the Vibe! The '03 and '04s would look seriously mean if you added that to their angular front ends. ~Z600

They are actually called canards I believe and alot of high end race cars use them for a bit of extra downforce on the front wheels (like you said). I personally think they look sweet just because they give more the effect of a race car or high end super car.As for there methods of application I can agree some are questionable, but bolting them on is definitely legit.
yea i definately have to agree...especially al of the ppl that rag on ricers..not to say i am, but if ur getting a body kit, thats all that have body kits is ricers...so dnt knock all...but at first i can say i hated these..but no w they are growing on me, especially lookin gat some of these awesome pics...again to each his own...adn they are bolted on most applications...i think
My Car, with the kit on. it looks awesome! come and check it out, tell me what u think.P.S. the gray will be painted momentarily http://www.cardomain.com/ride/514882/1

HID headlights (but with black finish, I believe) were an option on the 2003-04 SVT Focus. These may be aftermarket. I can't really tell if the base car was SVT or not.
My 2003 Vibe Base Auto 2-tone Salsa "SalsaWagon" was built in May 2002. I acquired it in Feb 2004/Traded it in on a 2016 Honda HR-V in Feb 2018.

They probably wouldn't even make a difference before 150mphProbably more like 120ish but thats the why they are usually on high end super cars that go like 180, so at least they have some functionality but I totally agree the evo kits look a bit.... well.... F'd up to be quite frank espcially on the matrix lol
