im going to be making a metal rear wheel skirt in a few weeks, hoping to also do a belly pan. hyundai already includes a front and center smooth under body, but the rear is totally exposed and the muffler is horizontal and right in the center!

Let us know how much mpg you get from the skirts! It's helpful to compare between cars.
All I can say is that my respect for automotive engineers has gone up considerably since I started modding my car. I remember reading a paper about how a wheel spat 40mm high and placed precisely there improved mpg. I went to install them on my car... and discovered it already had them.
Anyhoo, I wouldn't put it past some clever engineer to design a virtual diffuser using the heat from your muffler or somesuch.
