civic airdam

The front airdam is so low,I'd be concerned that it is aggravating frontal area and increasing drag.For other cars tested,they found that if the dam projected below the elevation of the bottom of the lowest suspension component,that drag would begin to increase,erasing the drag reducing properties of the dam,actually lowering performance.It would be a shame for your clean fabrication to detract from the Civic's mpg.
