I'm not trying to accomplish anything with aero on my car, I'm just interested in how it all works. Thanks for answering.

Canards can create a little downforce and can be used to adjust aero balance. They are/should be used more to direct airflow to other parts to create more downforce. Also good at decreasing front wheel well pressure decreasing lift there.
