I was just studying these template again, this time with a well drawn image of my coupe from the 1998 Honda service manual. It looks like the highest point on the car is just ahead of the center pillar. Got freeware in the form of Paint.Net and used Aerohead's template from this site and made this workable image of my car. It does seem I would need a much larger spoiler, no? Would it even be legal?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
