I'd bet there's good reason to put a small dam in front of the tires at least, even with a pan in place.

Seems like an air dam and an undertray can't be used at the same time... am i wrong?

Ford used an 'active' airdam,in conjunction with an 'active' suspension for their full-belly-panned Ford Probe-IV concept of 1983,which registered Cd 0.154.

I've added a 4 inch air dam to the bumper... I'll try putting up some pics later.

Here we are. One photo is without the dam, one is with.

I'm thinking about fiberglassed cardboard as a material for wheel skirts and undertrays. Anyone used this combo before? |

I haven't seen the pix because NoScript says there are 6 advertisers lined up behind Photobucket itself. I could enable Photobucket only, but I don't want to see it that bad. Consider uploading pictures to an album you create on your Profile page.

Looks like. 
Be aware that as soon as water penetrates the skin it all turns to mush inside. The forums fave is Coroplast. Personally I like Polymetal

It's an election year; prime Coroplast hunting season. Party offices before Nov 8th and front yards after.

I made the nose,wheel skirts,and boat tail for my CRX with fiberglass'd cardboard.
Soaked all three in a cattle stock tank to turn the cardboard to mush afterwards,leaving only the glass shell.

I can't seem to get the rear wheels skirts down... Too many curves at once. I am starting to envy people with flat sided cars!
