Steve say, correctly, is it impossible to think that when are installed in other car is absolutely good for we cars.
we can to observe other poduction cars, look some aerodynamics elements and analysing they with in mind that in some cases, the marketing people change the shape for aesthetic motivation.
About the calibra airdam, my post it is only an example, and if we go to realize it for we cars, we must to inteprete little information that we have.
In particular Otto, the measure of gap in the middle of the spoiler, it is conseguence of some aerodynamic interference (actions).
Calibra, has full underbody pan, so permit to a good passage for air below car with minimal drag.
In this case, I think than, it is preferible to reduce the fronta area with gapped spolier.
Again, it is many important to deviate the air flow around the suspention ARM and any other element disturb of flow.
