Hahahaha! I saw this in your design phase, I think. Is this a photo as built? Got more pics? I might yet switch plans, having taken my lumps with the trunk lid idea. This seems an easier thing to build, and I now know how difficult it is to make a trunk lid that can still allow access to the trunk AND be effective.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. 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.
