Aerodynamic purity is always sleek, continuous, and smooth.
Nice looking car BTW.

I don't have a Veilside kit hahaha. The point of the drawing was to demonstrate that the bigger "spoilers" and wings can act like a crappy boattail/Bonneville flat plate spoiler if you extend them behind the car.
There was that research done with the Audi A2 or something where they put a box behind the back, and despite it not being streamlined it reduced the drag. Same idea, but instead of a permanent fixture to the back this would be something that folds back into the car neatly.
