Canards are specifically for tweaking front downforce and don't direct flow to your wing. They can reduce flow to the underbody area.
I never said they direct flow to the wing, they direct flow up and over the front wheels and have very little overall effect on down force. I have a Honda CRX that I started to experiment with ground effect, it's got splitters, canards, diffuser, and a wing, as well as the hood was re engineered with a venture duct to evacuate air from under the hood, all this together made a dramatic affect on the car I can drive at 100mph through 35mph twisties up on the mountain, and it holds the road like its glued to it, the faster you drive the better it holds the road. On a wet road at 130 I can through a 20' wall of water behind the car, it just lifts it off the road and throws it up in a wall of water behind the car.

Oh it's a fun car! I have a collection of muscle cars, and even an AC Cobra all be it a kit car, my kids were building Honda's so I decided I would show them how to build a Honda, and that car tuned out so well that I rarely ever drive any of the muscle cars, I can have so much fun in that thing and still get great mileage. And thanks, I do try to be safe at all times, I never drive like that when there are other cars on the roads, and I am well trained in performance driving, I have gone through 3 high performance driving schools, two Bob Bondurant schools and one Jim Russell school for formula cars in Laguna seca.

Well I will be putting them on mine, I had to go out and buy a body kit that would except a splitter, they need to have a flat bottom. I have the rear wing installed already and I will be using the canards as well, and I need to modify the rear bumper of the new body kit to make a functioning diffuser, from all my experience I am sold on ground effects.
I'm sure some of the purist will no doubt cringe on the idea of changing the already great looks of the Solstice, I believe the benefits out way any alterations in the original look of the car.
