I'm afraid I don't see your point. I think the goal for an air dam lip radius is to prevent (or reduce) vortex generation at that location. I thought flow attachment is an issue for sloping surfaces in the wake.

The reason I didn't move the intake down further is because the nose doesn't seem long enough; the intake duct would have to be at a steep angle if I put it all the way at the bottom. I could see why it still might be an advantage but I felt uncertain.
Another todo I forgot: intake block, esp. for commuting.
