The Mercedes ML 350 has curved front air deflectors / spats / spoilers / whatever you want to call them in front of the front tires.
Looks to move some air to the side of the car and some under it.
I am attempting to mimic this using plastic PEX tube bend supports from Grainger as the mounting point for approx. 3" lawn edging coming down.
Grainger Item # 10A675
Seems it takes advantage of the air dam affect to the farthest sides of the car to route air around un aero things like the tires and suspension. But leaves the center of the air dam higher to not force ALL below bumper flow to the sides.
I will create thread with pics when I can. And let you know if it seems to help. I may then try same for rear tires.
