That's a possibility. But I'm not sure. I was observing vehicles on the interstate yesterday and noticed some bigger (jeep or toyota suvs. can't remember) have curved plastic undertrays.

My only guess was it curved down to the road and didn't flow back under the car. It never went to a straight 90 angle or completely flat like everything seems to do.


I noticed every decent sized vehicle has an "air dam". Especially big trucks. Little cars just have plastic hanging from bottom of radiator.

Any ideas on extending length of the plastic air dam underneath the radiator?
