I'm not sure what you call this...

I think they are named "fender liner pad" and yes it's part of the aerodynamic under the car
Indeed the effect of the individual part would not be noticeable (just like the little fins sculpted on mirrors and lights assembly). A member of this forum mentioned taking them off without any effect.
On the other hand, I can't help asking : what gain do you expect by removing them ?

They dont make a bit of difference. I commute an crap load for work and havent noticed any difference since removing them(both my calculations and the on board average mpg confirm this). I do have to put the disclaimer my car is nowhere near stock in the suspension department but I still get better than advertised mpg most of the time. Lacking in maintenance will affect gas mileage more than any of this plastic airflow stuff.
Those are called the aerodynamic flippity flaps. The main reason why they are there is to redirect the air tham directly hits the tires which would increase drag. They do have an impact on MPGs but if you lower the car, then less tire would be hit by air. Now, if your car is stock height, I would say keep em. If your ride is low, I am on 9th gen Tein springs, then the issue lies in with me scrapping them over speed bumps which is why I removed them. Working on some flexible replacements which some redesigned aerodynamics to help with mpg. I have read up on a lot of aerodynamics since I started working on the pieces so hopefully I will be able to test them out soon and report back with results.
What do you call the one in the rears? Thanks.

Neighbor has a '14 Corolla. He broke the passenger side bumper retaining clips getting that "soft" plastic peice hung up on a parking stop. A good % of Corollas seen around here already have one, and sometimes both of these fins showing substantial damage. I've never told anyone to remove theirs, do as you wish. I chose to remove and have not regretted it in the least.
