I don't think a belly pan is in the cards given everything that is under there, so I will concentrate on keeping as much aid out as I can.
Has anyone ever "vented" the under car area?
The big dogs would say don't do it.If anything,build an airtight fence around the perimeter,as low as the bottom of the naughty bits,and let the air pool inside it,upside down.The free stream will skim over this dead air as as if it were a virtual belly pan.(airdam-to-rocker panel extensions, all the way, and a lowered rear valence to match).
