Ive made the nose for my CRX.. thet talk about the boat tail..

My main question is the stock rake on the CRX's hatch acceptable for the boat tail top angle.. if so ill just continue it as I planned on my concept drawing..

Now for the bottom angel whats ideal, I have seen some tails concaved, for instance on the Aptere.

Also I was looking under the car and I can start pulling the rear end angle up right after the rear tires, its very empty back there..

Any particular science behind designing the boat tail I should know about?
