Default Air dam progress

Well what do you think, it is 1/4" semi type mud flap hard plastic bolted up from drilled core support. It's been on there almost two weeks now, scrapes on a few things but not a lot.
I plan on making a duct for the SMIC to maximize airflow to it, as well as a flat piece to keep airflow from going under the car as much as possible.
Good idea?

I think I can tell a difference in coast down time from 75mph, as for mileage I can't say for sure so far.

I think that it's cool. But my wife would have that ripped off the first time she went shopping and parked the car.
