aloha i think that my flaw was that the air dam had a slope, inward, and that made the stagnation point higher (more air under the car) and even though i have pans you still want to minimise air under the car, but you are also right the dam should have wrapped around the front a little more.scrap peice of lexan was too short.Dim looking at doing a radical front and rear mod on my car, not a total basjoos but id say 2/3 of the way,,, im going to build a front end extention peice out of wire frame and cardboard/tape and if it increases my fe i will build it out of fiberglass,, i will be trying hard to make it look factory -ish ( i am a hobbyest auto painter).as my daughter gets embarsed by my car, if it works i,ll do a simple step by step how to,and ill try to do it so most any body can build it, im studying car shapes now to try and design it. my goal is to make it look like it was made by the factory and not an add on. stay tuned.
