i think it is working now it seems to be loading. I did not want to do a kamm back as much as i wanted to do a decklid extention like the fusion 999 flats racer. according to greater aero minds than mine (not hard) if you extend the trunklid out behind the car far enough for the air to reattach it will trap the air behind the rear glass and the decklid creating a vortex that will act as a air pocket 15 degree roofline. then the "dirty air" will be only below the decklid thus reducing my cars rear area avalible for drag. I think i am understanding that correctly from all ive read and what aerohead has told me.but one thing bothers me and that is the rear decklid extention on the fusion is not listed as an aero improvement on that car. maybe it does not extend out far enough on that car and its only on it for stability at high speeds. but that does not mean if put it on my echo and extend it far enough back ( about 14-18" behind the car.,, it wont do what im told it will.it will only cost me some plywood and 4 holes in my trunk to test it. so we shall see.
