You could construct a 'hollow' projection which runs above the trunklid,from the backlight,out to as far as the bumper,which has sides which wrap down to meet the sides of the car. It would be like the 1982 Pontiac Trans Am Firebird,only full-length.
You'd be able to look right through it. The air would re-attach onto the back of it,capturing a vortex above it like Lamborghini, Porsche, Lotus, and Ferrari have used with their backward facing step backlights.
Just thinking out loud.

So, continue the sides rearward and make them be the side panels of the "new' raised trunk lid aka spoiler. Have the spoiler side edges meet those panels. However I do believe that for the rear view mirror to see only the spoiler's edge and allow maximum vision out the rear, the forward edge will have to be raised an inch or two. I don't think that would be a bad thing.
