I know this would not be flat under it but it would have smooth lines and fit the shape of the car not allowing and air to get trapped. Because I don't go over 50 with 90% of my driving the slight curves would not bother anything. I don't plan on racing this little beast anytime soon.

I am talking about putting some creases in like you would see in heating duct panels. The X is not very prominent, but it is enough of a change in the material to stiffen it up a bit. That might keep it from doing the kettle drum noise...
