Yes, I've seen the Volt's rear.... I've been looking at it as much as possible to see what I can come up with. Also my friend has a '08 hybrid civic and his car has a very small spoiler at the tail end of the car.

I'm surprised that no one has really any data on a rear wing for the CRX's. I'm sure someone's tried something and has some type of results, whether their skewed or some-what plausible... Just thought I'd ask. I guess I'll have to do the tuff testing myself.

Oh BTW, I've removed my side mirrors.... Very weird...
