they there to add downforce on the front end...but nowadays, tehy are there for looks.
Honestly...throw on a lip and you should be all set...To really take advantage of aerodynamics you would want to incorporate underbody splitters that allow air to flow under the body in a controlled manner....i believe le mans cars use these...also alot of the euro/japan circuit cars.
I am no aero guru....but i will share what little knowledge i know...even if it is wrong....i tried :-p

bomex is....i believe...the only body kit designed with aerodynamics in mind. Our cars have good aerodynamics...only thing for high speeds i guess would be down force....balance out downforce on teh front and back IMO...too much up front will leave the rear loose at high speeds...that = no good.
anyone....feel free to correct me if i am wrong.
