Yes,and until we find out,we're at a loss for information.
In the past,benefits accrued from mods were listed as a reduction to the base vehicle and were additive,not cumulative.
If this is true for the Fusion,then the bellypan is rated at full ground clearance and by itself would give Cd 0.33,a 2.94% drag reduction.That's on a underside which has already seen much detail optimization.
