Uh oh. You're starting to loose the nice looking shape you had going there.

Why not investigate a much shorter tail and just reattach the airflow at the lip of the tail ? Not only would it look better, but it would weigh less, and be less cumbersome.
Hot Rod did this sort of thing with their '79 Camaro which attained a .20 .Cd.

The last image resembles the back of a '71 Mustang Mach 1.
( Which brings up another point - If you went with a back end that steep, it would be harder to see out the back - a problem that the '71 Mach1 had )

You say that you intend to close off the entire back end and use a camera instead ?
Why ? Why not just use the stock glass mounted in your modified tail ?
If you went with a less steep angle, this would work even better.

Good luck !
