Real speeds. All those air dams are designed to capture a ridiculous amount of air and use it for either cooling or induction. A 4 banger would never need even a fraction of what the body is designed to deal with...so you'd end up with a bunch of closed-off parachutes designed into the body panels.
Besides be horrible for aerodynamics (and thus fuel economy), the panels would experience a lot of stress at even highway speeds if the frame wasn't designed to properly channel it.
You do all these things to compensate just to make it work...and you no longer have an affordable car.
