Decklid extension suggestions?

grill block: check.
wheel skirts: check.

decklid extension: probably?

thinking about either dumpster diving the local sign shop or getting a campaign sign to make a colorplast decklid extension. i was originally thinking something akin to the fusion 999, but maybe toned down a bit. like only 4-5 inches out. then i was reading moonmonkey's thread and there was talk of extending at least 14" out.

this is on a type III jetta, where both the roofline and decklid are basically flat. there is a photo on an em thread somewhere that shows an older golf versus jetta in a wind tunnel that shows the airflow pretty much attached all the way down the rear window and onto the decklid of the jetta (if i find the image i'll repost it here).

for the time being, here's a photo of my jetta from the side. any suggestions as to the length/general design/if-it's-even-worth-the-trouble-ness of an extension?
