so..... the preferred thing to do on the front is a vertical air dam, pointing out the most in the center so it pushes some air to the sides and some over the top?
Any merit at all to angling it out like this? My grill block was angled the opposite direction, but apparently that's a big no-no. I was thinking of angling mine out like his ramp, but not as far - just maybe 1-2" farther at the bottom. I'm familiar with Newton's 3rd law and I don't want my car to get funky at 70 mph. I also don't want my wing to rip off downward when I'm on the highway!!
