While I'm impressed that someone in the ricer world actually has a large enough vocabulary to know the word "canard", it's a misapplication of the term. Their c/f addons pictured there are more properly termed "strakes".
I thought the technical term for those was "mad tight shark toof bumper wings, yo."
