A look at the typical spoiler found on the backs of Mini Coopers (a CRV on a smaller scale) shows how it probably should look:
I'd use filler to smooth the transition, but the basic idea is there. Going much beyond this, in length, may offer little improvement.

Now that is a sweet looking little spoiler (Lip Spoiler?) That's a size that I might be able to simulate using Coroplas.
Maybe I should start looking at the rear glass with some yarn tassels taped on it. And then make a test spoiler.
