The T-100 is getting one of these.It's never had a proper nose either.And it's got to move,as with the racing tires and lowered ground clearance now,she has some real clearance issues!

Got pics of the Volvo or Probe IV airdam? I'm not familiar, so will Google for those. Thanks.
For around town driveability and speed bump/curb issues, I've wondered about inflatable or ramair actuated devices, including splitter or air dam, side skirts, etc.. That way, no deployment until highway speed. A simple electromagnetic deployment would work, if you do not forget to retract.
