Since 'appearance' is an issue,you might search for a 'production' rear spoiler ( from any car ) which would fit the trunklid of the Camry,which would both extend the 'length'of the trunklid,and also terminate at a higher elevation at the trailing edge than what you have.
Consider,that for a modern day CIVIC sedan,to approach the low-drag roof of today's Insight requires a rear spoiler 130-mm high,reaching 65-mm further back.
So the spoiler would need to be 5+ inches high and extend 2.5+ inches further back then the current trunk lip. That would like totally "ricer" on a Camry!

Nothing happening this week as I am busy stuck on more mundane tasks.

I did order 15" pizza pans I hope to install before my next 500-600 "commute".

The local Selectman election should end some free coraplast hopefully will be available.
