I thought the same -- most passenger airliners have these on various surfaces: most visible to passengers are on wing tops.
I thought a lot about this, but a small mod like this doesn't come close to the athlete's overall ability (if there's a concern about an unfair advantage, although judged legal).
As far as vehicle mods, they would have to be very strategically placed to even offer a minimal advantage.
