    Wonder how this would affect the aerodynamics/MPG's and cooling of the engine since it is an alteration to the OEM design??

      Is there any reason besides just filling up the hole?
      They are just used to help center the deflector for trial fitting gives a god point of visual centering left right front to rear

        I touched on this a bit in the last sentance of post 5. Ran it for a year or so W/deflector before I cut a slots in the inner and outer bumper. Never an overheat issue.
        As far as aerodynamics 3 things I have found helps. Head light covers I made. Lowering the front about an inch more than the front then there is the air deflector. I might have made a slight improvment with this one. I will disclose later in the build.

        First version thought I felt a differance just doing 35 the first time just adding the deflector after the proper rake and headlight covers had been done to the car many years before

            That is how you're supposed to jack it.

            Up and down.
