Essentially, a larger cutout inset in the slope? Is there a maximum size where that will start to impact the airflow?
I kinda did that with the CRX.
*I extended the C-pillars along the 'template' curvature on each side of the hatch.
*At the top,I had a cantilever wing projecting out about a foot along the 'T' curve.
*Then I had a low wing which extended back to intercept the 'T' curve which morphed into the boat tail.
Leaves captured inside the 'void' would dance around,impelled by the vortex,with outer flow glancing off the vortex.
