Draw a rear view accommodating both US and European sized license plates, and include plate lighting and really important; a rear bumper and tail lights.

The real reason the rear diffuser with wing/foil is wrong minded is rear impact.

In a perfect world or on a race car it would work well enough, but is complex and would take a lot of wind tunnel testing to get right.

EDIT:
I just spotted this inverse and sort of boxed out rear diffuser - almost a mirror image of most, a male/female mold.

Maybe there is fun research ahead for this part of the car.
