Tim,
This 'bib' you are speaking of is the 'mini air dam' I have been preaching
for
about 2 years now. I used a GM one on my custom built car and it works
fine.
After I add my simple duct from the lower valance inlet to the bottom of the
radiator (to force the air through the radiator, instead of under it) I will
put a
'parking curb scraper' on the front cross member. It's job is to increase
the air
flow between the ground and the stub dam, creating a partial vacuum (lower
pressure) behind the radiator and PULLING the air through.
Those front air dams and the 'racy cars' are just plain ugly, and this will
do as
well - and not be seen. Some of the newer cars are using a vinyl piece for
this
job that will bend when it hits something, like a speed bump. That's
probably
where I'll be heading.

Steve,
This is great! once you get it mounted if it is possible can you take
pictures or detail how you did it. I am at least 1-year from needing to do
that as I need to put something in worth cooling first.
Regards,
Tim Ronak
