Here are some sketches I just did to help explain it. Looks like you're doing good so far and good luck in the future!

YEa I might just leave them and get some GTS side skirts

I was thinking the same thing about the rear mud flaps, just leaving them there and building onto them while retaining the stock mounting locations.
For now I plan on using smooth wheel covers and just some stock skirts, and with the skirts it would help me since I won't have to tape it up. I do have composite and molding experience so I should be able to fab up something pretty cool with some epoxy, Fiberglass and Carbon fabric I have laying around.. I just wanted an easier way to block that ugly view of the rear tire from the front of the tire with what's available. and I believe next year front and rear wheel skirts!
I want to go in stages and test each and every mod per tank, so every fill up I will do something new once my MPGuino gets here and I can calibrate it.
Are there any local people here in the Bay Area CA who can help me? I do not see many custom MPG cars around here.
