The main advantage of rounding the flat portion of the front bumper is to lower the stagnation point to a height close to the level of the bottom of your car. It also gets rid an efficient collector of dead bugs. One advantage of the aeromodded shape is that you have very few dead bugs to clean off the front of the car. Also the rounded front end can provide a space to an install an adjustable grill block and adds additional crush space for added safety in the event of a front end collision.
