I have thought about a mid-car air dam. I would be concerned about adding turbulence under the car and creating a bad exit vortex. One idea I am toying with is an air dam that works with the wind instead of pushing against it. Sort of a resistive self-moving air dam. I am leaning towards exit air mods rather than a front dam.

Aero obviously changes the faster you go. I have heard that some new car is coming out with aero panels that only come out over a certain speed. Don't remember which car it was.
