I Can't believe the fuel savings from adding this little droop tip would offset the cost of installation and downtime, especially considering the remaining lifespan of the airframe. I smell a brother in law rat, or just a bogus story. Usually the company makes some fan fare announcement about this kind of stuff.. Believe it when I see it.

You're right; I forgot.
Short version:
757RR, as stated. Will not have curb-feelers like 737. Instead, has small scimitar on top of the existing winglet (winglet for a winglet?), and a minor extension to the trailing edge of the wing, over the last 2 ft or so of span. (A couple of inches or so).
