Attachment 17550 this should work as my car has a minimal overhang in the front. the second pic shows the ideal shape but that would be difficult to do nicely.

Attachment 17551
only question here is what to make that front splitter of so it wont break off. the car doesn't have too much of a nose overhang but it will still get scraped if I plan on lowering it as much as I want to
If you plan on driving over any bumps, you may want to be realistic/practical about the depth of your air dam.
However, that being said, if you have diagonal support rods attached to the lower part of the air dam on one end and attached to the car on the upper end, it should be strong enough to withstand scraping.
