Although its a little more difficult to mount on the car's frame, it would help if the side dams were located more directly in front of the tires rather than offset so far to the inside are they are. From your front view, it looks like the dams are only shielding 1/3 of the tire from the airflow and most of it is shielding the suspension arm (which produces much less drag than the tire). Also you would get better shielding if the inside of the "V" was covered so the airflow can't curl into the space behind the "V".
