I think the Owner wasn't doing it with FE in mind, but it's good for some inspiration for us FE minded people.

I was actually looking at a Fiberglass front bumper cover for my car that extended a few inches lower. I would them smooth over all of the pointless holes to make it aero friendly and have a sturdy decent looking piece.

Car already has nice side skits with 'spats' to break up the flow for the rear wheels.

Needs skirts too...

I am thinking of a bumper cover like this...



Then fill the side 2 vents entirely, and make something that looks like a grill for the middle 'opening'. (Solid, maybe Plexi with silver stripes to look like a billet?)
