That's some nice wake area reduction
Yes you are right Adam... Today I had some free time so I've tried again to set up new kamm. I didn't managed to make a whole thing, just one side. Then I've build a virtual kamm just to show you the results.



And from the top.


Kamm horizontal angle is around 14 degrees and kamm tapers to the back at the angle around 9 degrees. I can't get more because I want to use whole trunk lid, and attach kamm in the way that I can have free access to the trunk itself.

I'll try to prepare car for tuft testing next week. I have to build something to attach a camera. I just have a crappy PC USB camera and a laptop, but I'm hoping I'll see something
