Mine started off as a air dam but the stock aero effect of the car was OK so improvement was minor.
The much larger tires on front lowered my hiway speed rpms., but lifted the grill area forcing even more air through the lower grill area.
I loosened the Dam up and kicked out the centerpoint to have it spoil the massed air over the nose of the car.
My car is not pretty like yours so holes and such into the front fascia were non issues.
I have more of the material and your welcome to it but attaching to your car is something Im afraid would add ugly to it a little.
Thats why I listed those plastic aero nose caps keep your car pretty.
I gave my 01 civic to my son so he can look at the home made air dam effect for you first.
Not sure about the pizza pan Idea. it needs to be 15" to get rim full Ive not found any.
Wheel discs are expensive from my search $88, the stock honda civic covers are very close to disc but have a few vent holes for cooling rotors.
I liked the black paint Blackout look till I find the discs cheap.
