Air dams. Anyone know if/who is making these?

We're talking about two different kinds of air dams. The Backdraft part has a lip designed to create some downforce, some body lines, and look good. All that creates some drag. That's a street part, meant for a street car. Mostly just for looks without a whole lot of function on the street. Personally, I like the look. I'm thinking of putting one on my car.

But Morris' air dam is a lot different. It's nice and smooth, and does not create any down force or drag. It redirects the air so it doesn't go under the car, which is how it reduces drag.

Two different parts. Two different functions. Two different effects. Same name. Go figure.
