[QUOTE="Mark Price 2, post: 1002119, member: 70403"] I believe it helps for airflow/aerodynamics . It deflects the air outwards and around the sides of the tires. Probably very minimal. But, our ST's need all the help they can get. IIRC it only hangs down an inch across until it gets to the curved ends. They hang down maybe 2 inches. I believe they help keep the air from "swirling" around under the ST. I thought it would hang down further on the across piece to help protect from rocks/debris as well. But, I guess the cross member does a good job of that. I'm sure the Ford engineers put it there for a good reason. Maybe as a audible warning when you approach a snow bank while parking so you don't damage all the goodies under the front end.(LCA) (maybe that's what happened with yours?) That's all I can think of. I might say for looks too. But, it's not much of anything. [/QUOTE]
