I can't recall it right now and it will take some searching...maybe someone else has it at their finger tips. But, there is an illustration out there that shows the rear transition area and relates it to the radius of this area. It basically showed that the greater the radius of the "Top of the back glass" area, the more aerodynamic it was. Since my Civic has a large radius, I figured that was giving me the best aero performance short of a full Kamm type thing.

So, I think the question of whether a partial Kamm will help or hurt depends on the initial design of the car. Civic..Not so much, 96 Tempo....prolly will help.
