I had to read that a few times. Was there there a squiggle under 'Aera'?

Your analysis is very thorough. The questions I have are:
  • Why 2" below the lowest point?
  • How many inches from the bottom of the drain plug to where 90% of the oil pan/crossmember is occluded?
  • Have you considered that the airdam and tonto were working together (like Porsche experiences with airdam/spoiler)

I suspect eventually wheel spats will be like the 'venetian blind' style of Formula 1 front dive planes, turned 90°.
No squiggle Android doesn't believe in spell check and my dyslexia prohibits me from Catching it myself. Apologies.
0:0 to the lowest point of structure half an inch above my oil drain pan plug.
Yes the total package will work together , when properly designed , however in this case we tested with the Tonto cover installed in both instances so this design did not work with my other Aero modifications . no test was run with the air damVs stock.
