Or doodle and compare and use fuzzy logic until your home-brew 1 off is good enough.

I think it's a bit extreme for all the issues mentioned by ttoyoda. I'd clip it off at a point where it's close enough, but thats me.
Most of that could be achieved by a simple Kamback for the entire rear of the car.. make it out of polycarbonate and it will be totally clear and I can see through it... however it makes a huge hole in the rear of the car for air to spin around and create a draft... however it would be fairly simple to make.. a sheet of it and some bracing etc. and your set..
