Best to set up a test bed type of mod, that you can tweak and test, rather than going all out on the first iteration, just for this type of question.

I do think that 28* on the bottom is way too steep to even think that airflow will stay attached, so it might be OK to break cleanly, rather than try to keep attached flow. I assume the front will have a lowered stagnation point, so there will be less than normal airflow under the car as well, correct?
Yes the front bumper is only 4" off the ground. Plus I'm adding even more front lip so it will sit around 1" off the ground. The side skirts will be around
1" also.
