That's an interesting idea. They look pretty easy to make.

emm,

you will reduce lift by inducing drag?

the only thing that can help tr's aerodynamics is to remove that 90 degrees bend that the rear glass forms, air cant go around a 90 degrees bend easily , no matter what aerodynamic element you use.


only solution would be streamlining it down o the rear end of the trunk lid . and god knows how ugly would that look like.
it would require less than 7 degrees taper from the tangent line for air to follow it, like a reverse under-tray diffuser
