advice - Jeep under bumper something?

So thinking about my wrangler (the box on wheels) and aero mods. I'm not sure anything will really make a difference unless I first get rid of the safari rack on top, but I use that for hauling stuff all summer long!

Help...
So I'm thinking about moving the license plate up in front of the grill, and then putting a big front air deflector below the bumper to keep the air from going under the rough jeep underbody. I'll make it removable, since I frequently drive in 1' deep snow in the summer. The bumper has nice bolt holes already in, so I can overlap the bumper and bolt right in!

Also what material to use? I was thinking heavy metal flashing I can just cut and it wraps around the side bumper curved thing too.

Or... don't do the bumper thing and
should I try to smooth the underbody with plates? That seems less removable, and also may be a problem in deep snow - I'll tear them off with deep snow 4 wheeling. I'm also less excited about figuring out how to do the under body work. less obvious where to bolt stuff.

Thoughts on my bumper chin thing? Please!
