Sort of reminded me of an Audi TT at first glance. Props for your CAD skills, I'd never have the patience for that stuff 
Analysis Information:
Velocity = 120 mph
Downforce (Wing) = 53.32 lbf
Downforce (Underbody Diffusers) = 255.6 lbf
Downforce (Total) =
Drag (Wing) = 14.68 lbf
Drag (Underbody Diffusers) = 38.76 lbf
Drag (Total) = 484.648 lbf

Drag (Wing) = 14.68 lbf

I've got a comparison of the original CAD model with and without ground effects. I took the wing off as I just want to see the effects of the underbody tunnels.
Here are some before/after pics of the model itself. I wasn't sure how to evacuate the front diffuser air, so I just routed it straight out the side.
