You, sir, have given me an idea.

I'm going to try to create a custom baffle (I believe this is the word I'm searching for) that will exactly match the curves of the front of the bumper, thus providing a much more smooth and uninterrupted surface for the air to flow over.

The intention of the project would be to create a removeable baffle that does not in any way change the original grille, instead just attaching to and sitting over the stock unit. It would slide into place over the stock grille, and perhaps be attached under the hood with screws or some other item.

If it were to be painted to match the car's color, it would create a near seamless transition. Naturally, I think that it would be impossible short of very time consuming work to eliminate all gapping around the item, so therefore the best solution is to just create a uniform gap around it, similar to the hood gaps for continuity, but it would look much more "stock" without looking too improvised, if at all.

I figure that with just some Bondo/fiberglass, time, and something to keep the material from sticking to it, you would wind up with a VERY effective unit. Obviously, the smoother the surface, the lower the drag.

Am I making sense here, or, in your opinions, would this be inefficient as far as the time and work goes?
