Would a partial spoiler help at all?
I may add some side skirting but not to the bottom of the front air dam.
I do run an electric fan and the grill opening is already smaller than the face of the radiator. I may reduce this some because the face is designed for a big block and I’m running a 217 cubic inch V6.
Moon covers while efficient are not in the cards. I dont have a way to attach them to my wheels.

Run a simple straight line off the back of the roof,down at 23-degrees and see what that looks like.That's the absolute maximum slope the car can tolerate without flow separation of the central downwash core.If you can capture a locked-vortex between the top of the spoiler and top of the roof,the 'sound' flow (as Hucho calls it) will skip over that vortex kinda as if it were a solid structure.You'll pay for all the kinetic energy lost to feed the vortex,but it should kill the rear lift,and with it,some drag.Can't say how much.
