I don't see much benefit from disabling the daytime running lights.

Wheel well covers. Two or four?

Wheels and tires can make as much difference as anything; have you considered the Bridgestone Ecopias from/on the BMW i3?
There is not really any benefit from disabling the lights other than they bug me :P

I'm doing rear covers for sure. Not sure about front yet as they are much harder. I may use hard bristles from a broom to bridge the gap between tire and wheel well. Its going to be lowered so it may already tuck tire but I'll figure something out up front to make it more aero.

As for tires and wheels, I haven't looked into it too much. I know I do a ton of highway driving so taller and narrower tires might be more worth it then worrying about super light rims.
