It looks like you added panels to the underside of the bed inward of the tires and then added the rear wheel skirts.
The whole set-up is awesome.

I really haven't addressed any heat management from the exhaust yet. I've been planning on wrapping the entire exhaust pipe from rear of the converter and back. I do know the bed under the aero cap gits rather warm.
I have rear skirts (vertical panels) under the bed and between the inside of the wheels. I have a support system that I attached them to to keep them stable. The rear diffuser and the rear wheel strakes keep the rear skirts from flopping around. The rear part of the rear wheel skirts attach to the rear wheel strakes. The end of the diffuser is supported via dual hinges to the trailer receiver hitch. The hinges allow articulation of the diffuser as the rear axle follows the road. The rear diffuser is attached to the rear axle housing. If you read the link at the first post in this thread, you can see how I started my build.
