Starting to aero the Subie.

I've got a ton of cloroplast now, thanks to election being over. I've put wheel skirts on, and will now be moving to tackling the front end.



As far as an underbody, I'm going with 3/16 alu. on the vital bits. The oil pan area, the transmission pan, and maybe the gas tank if I have enough left over. The rest is going to be cloroplast underneath. But for now, my front end is definately a wreck. (More specifically, someone wrecked into me and my insurance wanted too much to fix it, so I amputated part of the bumper.)



Basically, whats the best shape for me to go with here? I'd like to keep some approach angle since I live in WV and every 3rd person I know lives on a rutted dirt road. But if it can't be helped then I guess I'll find new friends.

The stock bumper simply goes straight down and is rounded with the bumper.



I was thinking something like this,



although it might be too steep of an angle. This is where you guys come in.
