Alright I thought I chime in here, I am no expert, so I will give some images for ideas

Firstly we just purchased a Chevy Traverse a couple months back. This 3 row, 7 seater (4700lb!) is currently getting 22MPG with my wife driving. (With the roof racks, don't ask)

First, I am hoping to provide an insight as to what the manufacturers are doing in this area. My attempt is second

First is the rear spat:




The fronts do not have any, it seems Chevy is relying completely on the front air dam, for that.


And now my vehicle, I used one piece of (the best I can describe it) a carpet stair tread corner protector I decided to go about .25 inch wider than the tire, then attach with stainless screws.

Scrap left over:




Installed angle one:


Installed angle two:


Just hoping to provide ideas, if anyone has comments, I'd love to hear 'em.
