You're right, they are essentially the same and I didn't mean to single out ONLY the later one.




I personally see this as much better. Though I am not aerodynamics expert. I would run it all the way to the headlamps and make new flush mounted turn signals or make the grille cover out of a transparent material in that area so the lights can be seen.



But again, it really comes down to, where is that air going that goes thru the bumper? If it has a good clean path then I think it is better than enlarging the frontal area. I am new to this ecomodding thinking so give me some room here. I know in racing you wouldn't want that air under the car as it would effect the traction. But in ecommoding, is that a bad thing? All this turns into a serious gray area I think.
