The idea for the spring loaded deflectors are basically mounted to the car on a hinge, and they are far enough from the wheel so they can be flat against the underbody without touching the wheel. Then there is a spring attached to it halfway down the material, and mounted to the car further towards the front than the hinge, to make a triangle with the spring, upper half of the air deflector, and underbody being the planes. The spring has zero load when the plane is in its proper place, or there is a slight load in case the hinge isn't strong enough to prevent too much push back from air resistance. It could get hit, and come back into place. I plan on making a mock soon, and eventually using the idea on my air dam (since I plan on lowering the Vibe) and other air deflectors.
