An air dam, "lip", "splitter" or "bar" is an air spoiler at the front of the car, preventing most air from traveling under it.

Preventing airflow under the car reduces pressure and parasitic drag on the under side. The result is less drag and less lift at the front of the car. Spoiler (automotive)ᵂ
