Has anyone added winglets to their side skirts or rear tire area? If so can you please post pics? Im hoping there are some universal type winglets that can be added to whatever side skirt is choosen.

Unless you race at very high speeds it doesn't matter because they serve no useful purpose at legal speeds. From an aerodynamic standpoint I doubt they do much of anything even at high speeds when mounted on side skirts.
