When looking at the wiki I took that as more as a gap filler vs what I am talking about is more of something to help direct airflow away from the trailing edge of the wheel well. Similar to the idea of not wanting air flow through the wipers, creating a lip directs air over the wipers. My thought is that kicking air out away from the car, for the duration of the wheel well, and having the air make contact again on the other side of the wheel well where the body is smooth.

The idea is some of the benefits of a front skirt without the issue of worrying about reducing steering travel.
