I would not be increasing the frontal area. What I would be doing is lowering the chin portion of the nose to the minimum level of the front pan area at the front suspension. The chin of the car is currently a couple inches higher than the area near the front axle. That is the point of my question in this tread. Right now, the air in compressed and accelerated as it goes from the chin area to a narrower area (lower) near the axles. If I lower the chin down a touch, the air will not compress because the nose pan will be level due to lowering the chin.

Does that make sense?
