The last picks a stronger angle and extends 35 inches from the rear window, across the trunk and 20 inches further. I'm gonna have to build one of em... I'll figure that out later...
Cal,if you have a scan gauge you could do a quick cardboard and duct tape prototype and quick test to check its performance.If you like the results,then do a nice one.
Also,Pep Boys and most auto parts stores carry high-conspicuity reflective tape,by 3M.It's designed to be SEEN.Check it out.If the Chippies see that,at least they'll know you're thinking of others.
