got those bumper extensions ready yet, you need something stiff out there to mount to any way. is the front reg. the same deal?

pic below shows air dam of rubber belt (10" baler belting, tractor supply or farm and fleet)

Important: in the sketch the belly pan extends fwd of the air dam (even if just a few inches), imo, this holds the air on the dam to be channeled around the sides, imo, the air dam is not complete without this extension.

pic of a truck rear, but works on rectangular objects could be scaled down to station wagon size. i'm looking for the formula, i think it was (inset=.03 x width) and (extension=0.3 x width)

a well proportioned dam and intake, scale for your vehicle

good side skirt design, note portion almost horizontal.
