another thing i imagine might happen is that the configuration at the corners looks like it might make vortexes... on the bright side one could hope these work as virtual sideskirts, but interferance with the body likely just turns these into drag... so perhaps some (partial) sideskirts or bending up the angles might improve things.

So you are suggesting some diffusers or fins that run the length of the belly pan in order to promote linear flow? I may be able to rivit or bolt some L-bracket aluminum or some of the scaps to the side. If I do that, I will likely have to raise the rear so maintain anough ground clearance over speedbumps and similar that I am not grounding out. I shall have to experiment a bit.
Still accepting input!
