I saw the front lip spoiler is $700, but I didn't see a price for the whole kitten kaboodle. Here's a five piece fiberglass kit for $4000:

The Model 3 already has front wheel air curtains.

This kit is available in basalt fiber:

According to Voltes Design, the Brits also promise some upgrades for the Tesla Model 3 once the most attainable Tesla Motors nameplate starts to roll off the assembly line. In the meantime, prospective customers can get in touch with Voltes Design through the tuning company’s website.

I've been looking at the features available in Blender 2.8 and I expect that the CFD done in that software will be very advanced over what they've shown. I don't know the details yet, But I've seen magnetic field simulations and I know there is a physics engine and OpenVDB is in there somewhere, (but I haven't seen it yet). I don't know that these were done in Blender, but they use a smoke and fire rendering engine.
