I assume this is for the Maxima? Will you extend the belly pan in the future? If so, you may only need the part of the airdam that is in front of the front tires. If the underbody is smooth you don't need to add all the frontal area of a complete airdam. Mock it up with tape and cardboard and test it with your ScanGauge to see which works best for you.
