Revolution Under Sweep Panel?
So I was doing my daily search on yahoo auctions japan and ran across a Revolution Under Sweep panel for our cars. What I'm wondering is, and from what I can tell I can only assume, is this a replacement panel for the plastic undertrays we currently have, or does this somehow work in the rear of our cars. I can only assume its for the front, but I sitll don't see how it would be any benefit.\
Here is a link to it in English from RHDJapan

That panel is a bit confusing. In the diagram it shows that due to it's shape it sends more air through the radiator and increases downward force (decreases lift) in the front end. That seems a bit strange though since as air slows down it's pressure increases which is the opposite of what their chart shows. I'll have to think about that one for a while.

I zoom therefore I am.
since it would create a vortex or "dead zone" of air at the base of it radiator i'm not sure how something like this would improve cooling...
in their diagram they show the airflow peeling off the top of the hump, this isnt what air would do. Istead it would follow the curve to the base of rad and just pool there.
