Unfortunately, those won't work if the air ahead of them is already turbulent because of the roof racks.

Also - I suspect your car (without racks) has attached flow down the rear window - the Evo's rear glass is pretty steep compared to yours, which is why they put the VG "band-aids" on. (What year is the Civic?)
