how about wheel splats? I was thinking of using 18 wheeler mud flaps(cutting them though) it's 33.30$ for a pair to do all 4 tires

the 2015+ has built in wheel splats to the front air dam..
.



but i think might be able to do a Vent duct where those plastic covers are ?
Technically,the rear bumper fascia cannot 'parachute' unless you've got a belly pan all the way to it,and fully attached flow.Subaru lowered the drag of their 1985 XT by 'adding' a parachute rear bumper.Drag went up without it.
If you're going to the trouble of doing a belly pan,you'd want to do a diffuser,to wring out all the drag reduction possible.
