Air dams?

What's the general thought about air dams and their effectiveness on road cars from a pure drag reduction standpoint? Anyone have any real world feed back on their effectiveness? I've seen at least one wind tunnel study from the 80s that shows they do reduce drag. Though wondering if today's underbodies are better considered than they were in the 80s, and thus an air dam might simply not have the desired affect.
