I have a picture but photo bucket is being stupid
Let's see the pics. I would bet most people would agree the results are dependent on details we don't know yet. It is possible that you might remake the spoiler as a trunk spoiler and do better than with the roof extension/wing.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
