Actually, that sounds exactly like what I have. On the Passenger side, though, the muffler is in the way. IIRC, most Civic designs were similar. Is this a problem you had to work around?

On the Honda Civic the rear bumper is basically the back half of the wheel well, so that area is wide open. I used aluminum sheeting and directed the air more smoothly to the bottom of the bumper. That way it deals with that issue and gains some of the advantages of a rear bellypan. Of course, your car may be different.
