Front tire deflectors. Find some mud flaps or something similar, and screw them into the wheel well lining. Place them to cover from the inner half of the tires to 3-5 inches inward of the tires, as viewed from the front. You will see that the car companies do it this way, and it is for a good reason, aerodynamically speaking. You can play around with how low to make them, but I would start with them extending 5-6 inches from the ground.

when you did this did you try different angles or just at a flat angle in front of the tires? I'm wondering if it's best to angle them in a little or send the air to the outside of the car. thanks
