Yes, the Lightyear does have vestigial wheel fairings, as if toned down from the Ford PROBE-III of 1983.
Good eye!

im trying to find a compressed material for my wheel flairing. so far im thinking of a thick foam like what yoga mats are made of or something softer but cheap. it will still allow ground clearance in worst case scenarios since itll be able to squeeze

Conveyor belt material held in a curved shape

something like this. also there are a few firmer ones too. sand down and round the edges

Would stick with pu adhesive maybe?

yoga block material may be more durable

In the past, BIG LOTS, Wal Mart, and auto parts stores sold a lightweight polyurethane rubber floor mat system, which ganged together on the edges like puzzle pieces.
It's closed-cell foam, and could be tailored, and bonded with contact adhesive, to create complex shapes.
It wouldn't take on water, get heavy, and potentially fall of the car in a rain.
Velcro could be bonded to it.
I use it around the wheel arches and let the tires ablate it to it's closest fit tolerance.
Five, two-foot by two-foot sections used to cost fifteen dollars.
One side is embossed, kind of like star-plate aluminum, the flip side is smooth

Still around, but havent seen them advertised. Flooring place still have them as do some online workplace kitchen provisioners, or up to 4 years ago when I were still a purchasing agent.
