I like the idea a lot too. I eyeballed where I think it would be on my '97 Civic coupe. Horizontal panel starting at about the 6th or 7th rear defroster wire, counting up from the bottom. It will go straight back, level, to a point even with the rear bumper. Might need to be adjusted up or down a bit depending on exactly where the template curve is. I like the idea of side panels; building them might be a challenge.

As for the center brake light - here's my plan. I'll do this before I cut even one piece of material for a spoiler. Get a brake light assembly from a truck stop or a parts store. They sell them. Just a plastic housing with a red lens and a bulb holder. Tape it to the trunk lid, center, all the way back. With that in place you can experiment with different spoiler panel setups.
