Haven't played much with Google Earth for this kind of thing...
I was honestly about to reply to your previous comment about Google Earth .
Looks like you have it figured out .

I'll try to search for the image of the TDI Jetta I spoke of with the catfish style spoiler.
If I find it I will edit this post and attach it for you.

Edit : I looked for the image i was spoke about earlier, but could not find it.
Here is an example of what I'm talking about though : The sides cover the wheels, yet the air dam is trimmed in the center to reduce frontal area.



I haven't used the feature myself, but noted that others here have made reference to using Google Earth to measure even slight elevation changes when doing coast down testing.
