go to the home page, scroll down to the thread entitled "Aerocivic - how to drop your Cd from .34 to .17". Plenty of pictures.

Front wheel skirts.

why you would make them: they help
why you wouldn't: they're trickier (see also: doax's post)

side air dam? you mean wheel skirt?

ground clearance: 6"? if you want to be able to go over speed bumps. I've looked for a standard speed bump height before, but i haven't found one. maybe someone else has had better luck

*edit* I really suggest looking at the aerocivic for design questions. If it doesn't have it, it's probably addressed it.
