Here's my favorite end-plate solution:

It suggests to me that the outer half of a rear-wheel spat is superfluous.

How so superfluous?

Seems to me, it would be even better to fair the rear fender aft of the wheel by adding another surface flush with the trailing edge of the tire, curving back to meet the trailing edge of the aluminum plate: Essentially a curved V to fair the flow off the rear tire to gently join the under-car flow coming off the diffuser.

And, add a front air dam extending groundward flush with the leading edge of the front bumper cover, with no concavity under the nose, plus a ~4" splitter.

Thoughts?
