You speek of pattern, how this help you?
The Loremo and the Daihatsu UFE-III have long boattails behind their rear wheels, so I just made a shorter version of theirs using the same taper I used for my car's boattail. I made the taper different on the 2 sides of the mini-boattail so it would help to direct air under my car's boattail. I made the mini-boattails out of sheet aluminum, cut and pop-riveted to form a triangular box that I pop-riveted to the bottom of my car.
