Hi,

I'm looking to finish off the mostly covered underbody of my 2019 e-Golf, as it seems like the void at the back of the car might be acting as a parachute. I found a German forum post that I'm using as inspiration (goingelectric.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=60018&start=20), but I'm wondering if I should add some holes to let any accumulated air out as it seems the Nissan Leaf perhaps does (i.ebayimg.com/images/g/PFoAAOSwZVhWTM4N/s-l400.jpg). Another question would be if adding Airtabs (or something like them) would have any benefit, to maybe make the new belly pan act more like a diffuser.

Thanks and sorry for the perhaps naive questions.

P.S. Sorry for the lack of clickable links; first post!
