Thanks, most of the designs you'll see in the links I left in my second comment in this thread are straight chops for this reason, It would allow for taillights and a numberplate, without drastically affecting airflow like a curve would. I'd have to say my favourite design of mine so far is this one, because it has good visibility and crosswinds shouldn't be a huge problem, as well as the numberplate thing:
