I've noticed that a lot of the newer aerodynamic cars have sharper edges on the rear, which I read in here somewhere helps to reduce turbulence, as lunar mentioned. I've wondered whether adding a border around the rear perimeter to create a sharp edge might not look cool, as well as reducing the turbulence. If I were to make it out of Plexiglas, the tail lamps would still be visible as intended. And I'm thinking a Plexi part kammack would look good also.

I'm going to include some pics soon as I can upload them to the internet.
