Yes however most TDIs in NA are Mk4 and newer. The Mk3 (from which this cover is) are pretty rare and only the Jettas came with TDI. Well since the part exists there's no point in "re-inventing the wheel" on this one. While I am interested in hypermiling I will not make a car look like some do just for aero reasons
