I took a crack at some innitial planning and designing last night at a buddies shop. We did a ton of thinking, messed with a few different materials he had layin around and eventually got to work on puttin together a simple "prototype to test out made of aluminum. I didnt want to go too low with the stuff and scrape it all the time so I went 3" below the stock bumper which is enough to cover all the "nastiness" as we call it thats previously left hangin in the wind LOL. We didnt have enough time to finish but the design looks alot like a stock chevy chin spoiler that is only in the front and doesnt wrap around. Im not sure I like it very much but might test it out when we finish and see what happens. Im thinkin I might grab some of that lawn edging and do one more like I wanted, where it wraps all the way around the bumper like the lower chin on the boxy Jettas and Golfs. We messed around with tire spat ideas as well, real simple like the old Prius used to have but will finish the spoiler first. No pics yet, but when I get the bracket together Ill post some up and get yall to critique it!
