A while after I joined this site, I got enamored of a possible raised trunk lid or spoiler. Through several attempts, I learned the significance of "optimization" more fully. I did not seem to have the fabrication skills to mod the vehicle in a way that would not produce new problems and seemingly make things worse. The rear of the Civic is not "good" but it is thoroughly optimized in its form. Changes are tough to make effective. I suspect, however, that a small, flat, decklid spoiler would help. I say that because I see Honda do it on the high FE versions of the Civic coupe.
