Thanks Adam

What do they do?
was wondering that myself mate, never seen tham before. dont look paritularly nice either...
If they aint just cosmetic then i guess they could increase front downforce (like on an F1 car)?
if it was for downforce then surely they would be better right at the bottom corners of the bumper? do they stick out at all, its hard to tell s:? :? s:?
Heres another picture, they usually come in pairs. They are used in both GT300 and GT500 race class in Japan so they must perform a downforce benefit.

I was thinking it would help keep my stripped out front end down with the extra power provided from the 2ZZ!
I think there may be legal issues on the road use of those leg slicers s:shock: :shock: s:shock:
Could be wrong..but I think they may be to divert airflow away from the wheelarch, and create a low pressure area where hot air is drawn out off, thus cooling the brakes. A bit like a system on the R34 GTR

Apart from that, they might direct airflow to the large rear spoiler? If they're not for that, knee slashers seems the most obvious explanation.
They are definately for downforce. I dont know if there would be a performance benefit for our cars though.
Also, they don't protroud out of the car they are designed not to pke out beyond the wheel arch. I will try and find a front on picture.

Erm, why is it sporting a Lexus badge????
I believe that it's a yank thing to put lexus badges on, to make it that bit different - I guess in much the same way we put j-spec badges on ours...
