I think that it would be very easy for every single car/vehicle to lower their Cd by smoothing out all the bumps, creases, pockets, slots on the nose -- and minimizing and optimizing the cooling air intakes. They just need to mold the plastic differently, and they could put all of us modders out of work...
This should be
STANDARD! Mold the plastic bits differently, lower the Cd by 0.05 (or so) and every car/vehicle would get 5-8mpg better on the highway. It's a no-brainer!
Now the wheel skirts could be optional, along with the flush wheel covers (though maybe some additional brake cooling would be needed).
