After looking at the skirts a second time, I think the edges of the skirt should be tapered inward ( like the front fenders of the 1st generation Insight. This would smooth out the airflow behind the tire instead of acting as a parachute.
Do you dare to bring the edges of the skirt ( the sides ) even closer to the wheel ?
Since this is a prototype, you could even just use tape to fill the gap.

Perhaps I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions without a picture from a 3/4 side view. How snug is the skirt around the wheel ?
