ChazInMT has good points. My 6th gen Civic has very similar lines to yours. The coupes are the best of the Civic stable in terms of aero. The lines are good enough that most improvements require a lot of experimentation. If this were mine, I would take off the kamm and play with the trailing edge stuff. On my Civic there is a little taper beginning toward the aft edge of the car. If yours is like that--it's very subtle--experiment with continuing it a few inches or a foot. ... or you could build a full boat tail. ... The side skirts probably help. I have them too. I am still planning a belly pan and diffuser and maybe another version of the rear box cavity I tried without results last summer.
