What's their purpose? Cosmetic?

They better not be purely cosmetic because those things are not good looking...

Unless you are driving in excess of ~140+ mph, these are cosmetic. The purpose of them is to create down force on the front end of the car so that the car doesn't flip over from the air going underneath the car. You'll see canards in a lot of the actual GT race cars.

Examples:

If your car isn't super aggressive, don't do it.

In fact, just don't do it at all. It looks terrible and doesn't belong on a street car (yes, that means you, XK RS-GT and SLS AMG Black).
