OK, so why is it that we expect that adding frontal area with driving lights (especially *those*) INCREASES drag, while we accept as gospel that additional frontal area from a spoiler or air dam DECREASES drag? What is it about that under-car flow that's so important?
The lights were pure drag, whereas an airdam may cause additional drag while decreasing under-chassis drag, yes? I'd love to learn more about the core reasons for front spoilers and airdams, and why is it we accept the additional frontal area of them without question.
