Hey,

Yes it does help with aerodynamics of the car The front and sides are designed to channel the airflow on the car to correct it. The front helps by splitting the airflow to keep the car from having excessive lift under higher speeds. The sides also work to keep air from rolling under the car and creating lift.

These are usually confused and called side skirts. The actually are not side skirts and the correct term is actually side rocker extensions as they extend the lower rocker which most call a side skirt. The function is these keep air from rolling under the car as they deflect the rolling air flow away from the car instead.
