if you tossed on some smooth wheel covers. would it do away with the need or improvement found with side skirts?

now I know it doesnt fit the most bang for the buck. and most people here would prob say the gains are not worth the cost.

but the point being if done correctly (most expensive and time consuming way) aside from speedbumps and driveways. if driven in an eco way it wouldnt be worse? or detrimental?

what about a belly pan? does it stop making improvements? or is that only if you have a huge front lip on top of mods like this?

obviously some is a joke. some is a scene and impractical. but going beyond that and picking and choosing specific aspects of these mods.

fitted wheels flush with the body, body modded to sit tight around the tires. light weight wheels. low RR tires, proper zeroed alignment,

I mean its possible right? to have your cake and eat it to?

I think its possible, I don't think hellaflush was the correct term you were looking for, maybe stanced. I think with tires that fill the wheel wells wheels that come out to the fenders would create less passage for air to get pulled into the wheel wells. Then put moonies on the wheels. Your pretty much creating a form of wheel skirt without the skirt.
