yeh you're right, I didn't think the R34 had that front bodykit but they do.

Unless the fairings and scoop have been designed by the manufacturer and tested in a wind tunnel they generally increase drag rather than reduce it, and the rear scoop generally pushes down the back and lifts the front, adversely effecting the steering. Unless its been designed by the manufacturer or a race team (and you need the improved race suspension as well) then it's best to avoid them.
