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.
High Brucepick. I agree. I started a new thread on it because I felt odd talking over a trunk lid project under the heading "Bonneville flat spoiler" anymore. Maybe it was a mistake, but there you go. Here's the thread: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...ect-17708.html I can see under the lid, through the interior mirrors.

I'm working on tuft testing and fine tuning the prototype after a frustratingly poorly designed test.

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.
