I picked up a cheap "carbon fiber" air dam on eBay, mostly because its the only one I've ever found for the non-m 2er and wanted it for cosmetic reasons. But upon unpacking it, I noticed that the bottom of the dam is not flat. It's just open on the bottom with a void all the way to the top contour where it mates to the bumper. Would that cause a turbulence/lift issue? If so, what could be done to flatten it out, such as mating a splitter to the bottom? Any good off-the-shelf "universal" options? Or is that normal for an air dam and I'm reading too far into this?
