Spring is here and it motivated me to start my next series of eco mods. I have been contemplating raising the entire decklid and slightly extending it. As you will see in the images below, I used a 1.5" styrofoam sheet as the desired height of the decklid and I followed the car's rear tapering using clay; as to follow the "designed" lines.

I need some help figuring out if this approach is viable. If so, how can I optimize the transition from the C-pillar to the new height of the decklid ? The decklid extension should be a few inches, still haven't decided on the final figure though.

What do you guys think ?

Thanks in advance !
