Second that. Air moving aside and over the car meets less resistance than under the car, especially if it would get squeezed there.

I want to upgrade the LGB on my '11 Insight to a bulge with a chin spoiler. The edges of the front bumper are set to 45 degrees sideways and form almost half the frontal area of the bumper, so the bulge should curve round for a flush transition. The lowest part of the edge planes protrudes by more than an inch, I want that feature on my bulge too; that would make a chin spoiler running from side to side.

But first the snow has to clear up, I have a garage but it is unheated and laden with other stuff.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
