Fuel saving "lifespan" is no issue anywhere else when it comes to fuel saving. OEMs install DRL led lights to their headlamps. When one of those leds gets failure you have to change whole headlamp which is pretty expensive...
Anyway that was their current opinion. That will change when the time is right. Who has the balls to start making a serial production car with proper fender skirts will propably have a little egde.
Like people said if you want them there are aftermarkets that can and will handle the need. I will desing and build fenderskirts to any car if they are willing to buy them at proper price. Price will be 15 times more expensive than what oems would have to pay from them.
I think my lupo has now some pretty sweet looking fender skirts at the moment. I have a idea how to make the installation very simple, but again if you cannot find a investor who is willing to put their money on the table. Ideas will stay inside my head.
