The blue-line solution could be a custom spoiler or maybe an adaption of an existing adjustable spoiler.

Here's another example that fits the streamline template (but extends beyond the bumper) :

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.
