I agree that the "Mad Max" type air dam on the front of my VX is more or less a "down and dirty" solution as you stated. I am convinced that if we had done one more like yours we would have seen even more aero benefit.
We plan to do either another VX or a CRX next and I would like the front to be more like yours for all the advantages you stated above. I'm just happy that even our compromised aero package has improved MPG by about 9 or 10 MPG.
As far as collecting wildlife with the "Mad Max" air dam, you are so right. I don't even try to keep the bug hits cleaned off in the spring.
Yesterday as I was going in to the shop, I came upon a recently killed Armadillo in the middle of the road with one front leg sticking up. As I passed over him he "High Fived" my air dam. I thought that showed a great attitude on his part.
