I'm planning a near-horizontal "spoiler", as drawn on the first page. Pretty much what we've called a Bonneville spoiler but going back only as far as the rear bumper. Seeing out via the mirror should not be an issue.

The side panels will intrude on the driver's view but I can redo them in Lexan later. Maybe cut an opening in the side panels where appropriate and put in a Lexan insert. Doing the center panel as a Kamm back going down from the roofline is not my plan (sorry).

Panel attachment ideas, anyone?
