I don't think that it is worth it at all.

It is worth it but you have to be careful b/c if you drive through a puddle it makes it ALOT easier to hydrolock your motor

I don't think it's going to help. I think the stock design directs plenty of cool air once the car is moving.

Furthermore, I think anything below the nose of my car would eventually hit the ground and get squashed. YMMV.

Don't know if this has been covered or not yet; has anyone adapted the SSRA under bumper scoop to the SLP CAI? Can this even be done??

Yes I make a scoop that fits the FTRA/SLP cold air kits. LM Performance sells them for me.
