The Fusion is not really a trunk lid extension; they've raised the entire lid from the base of the backlight on back.
Are you sure they raised the trunk? I think the side-spat starts where the trunk "meets" the window and stays the same height. Because the trunk slopes down, the side spats end up being like a quasi-fin. Here's a photo gallery :

Hmmmmm, I guess the trunk could be raised maybe an inch or more. Is that what you mean?
