Nope, pretty well sealed. Factory air dam is lip-mounted to bumper's lower edge. My air dam extension is screwed to lower edge of that, nearly a perfect seal. Factory one has holes that feed to the radiator. Well, have to admit that the ducting/baffling is not perfect there. That's something I could address, I could build some additional panels into that system. Thanks for making me think of that.

Anyway, the bottom panel is a lot like the one in diesel_john's thumbnail diagram, its joined to the air dam's lower edge via a bunch of small angle brackets, all the way along.
