Consider the front of the car - we close up grilles because it's often better for air to not flow at all through an aerodynamically dirty area. If the air has no way to get through, it simply won't go there. Again, I could maybe see some benefit to filling some of the vacuum left in the wake of the car, but this would be a very aerodynamically dirty way of doing it.
