I don't want to go too far off topic, but I got this idea...
The main reason (other than looks, but this can be disputed) for NOT having fully covering moon-caps (and closing up from the inside and below) is brake ventilation.
So how about if there would be small flaps in the front bumper which would open each time the brake pedal would be pressed, scooping air from the front and channeling it onto the front wheels' brakes.
The flaps would mess up aero, but only during physical braking, so wouldn't impact FE.
