Wheel Well Fender Flaps in Front of Rear Tire (04 Civic)

I was inspired by the recent post regarding edges being useful in new aero designs. One of the comments by the GM guy regarded a flap in front of the back tire on the Chevy Traverse. I found a good pic of it here.



and Zoomed in....



This got me to wondering about my 04 Civic back tire...



I was thinking of doing this....



I would just use some vinyl edging or something to extend it out a few inches and drop it down a bit making it the width of the tire and 2 -3 inches lower than the frame rail.

I would use some sorta plastic fasteners to attach it, cause if I use metal screws, and the thing gets torn off somehow, there is about a 110% chance it will end up giving me a flat tire.

Crazy enough to work?
