Abstract: According to aspects, an angled extension for an air curtain, the angled extension includes a base and a projection extending from the base. The base is configured to be attached to a front surface of a wheel well and is configured to be is disposed proximal to an interior side of an air-curtain outlet. The projection has a first end and a second end. The first end is configured to be generally angled toward an exterior side of the air-curtain outlet when the base is attached to the front surface. The first end is configured to deflect at least a portion of a flow of air that exits the air-curtain outlet to thereby inhibit contact between the flow of air and a front face of a tire. The second end is configured to be generally perpendicular to the front surface when the base is attached thereto.
