lower front air dam / splitter mod

Anyone seen a lower front air dam (aka lower front spoiler) mod? with the likes of a splitter even?

did that on my GTI way back. made for even better gas mileage and the like. was wondering if there's any interest in some. maybe we can get some of these supporting vendors interested.

also, are there any custom front grilles available? love the stock look, but I am concerned that there are huge gaping holes that road-rocks can fly through and mash the radiator. something like a mesh grill mod or the like.

I'd like to add one too....all the spoilers I have seen so far are from the UK or Europe...and the exchange rate and shipping make it cost too much right now.

if you happen to stumble on some links, I'd appreciate it if you'd hit me up with them here. Maybe that can get the ball rolling with some availability in the states.

Thanks in advance!
