Perhaps. But what got me thinking about this is the fact that neither the Buick nor the Oldsmobile versions of this car have a "lip" on the bumper. On the Chevy version, it appears to be merely a cosmetic feature, one that is mirrored on the rear bumper as well.
I was thinking that if I cut it off, the air would still be deflected around the car by the air dam, and not having it would simply reduce some drag. But I'm no aerodynamics expert by any means...

The only problem with this is that once I cut the "lip" off, I can't really put it back on...
Also, thanks for the suggestions on the picture. Fender skirts would be easy to do, and I'm planning on making some. It may be more difficult to make a Kammback, though, that still allows full operation of the rear window and door. I have a few ideas that I'm planning to try.
I have installed both skirts and Kammback on the Metro, with great effect.

No, neither of the pictures are mine. Mine is Dark Green Gray Metallic upper/primary with Light Gray Metallic lower/secondary. I'll try to post some pictures once I make some mods.
Both of our cars are green in color, hence their names...
