They are covering the suspension/linkage, so that is good. Aesthetically I think they are very good.

For the rear wheel FWS, I don't know. This is the first time I saw someone use the "flat vertical guide" behind the wheel. I think there should be something in front of the rear wheel leading the air to the rear FWS. Does that make sense?

Also, I think you should go find a Prius. Behind the rear wheel is a special shape. Imagine the hull of a toy plastic boat. Then turn it upside down and stick it behind the rear wheel. Here is what I mean :



Maybe this is why they call it a "boat tail", .

I appreciate your pictures because they are very detailed.

I had thought next to the possibility to realize the "boat tail" in the behind of rear wheel, but I cannot apply them because small gap between the rear wheel and the ends of car.
In Italy, is prohibited to lenghten the car, the police is little tolerant in order to car modifications; also it is present aesthetic factor and the realizazion difficulties.
I do not know...perhaps, I will do something useful.

Prius car, is a good source of inspiration, but the EM users are more
