Exactly the reason to replicate his work

So what happens between 85 and 90%? Prius tail lights?
That is actually a great idea. If they will fit, I'll make them work! I might even try to fit a 3rd gen spoiler instead of making my own

I'd would think drop pants down behind the rear wheels and make the tail a half-circular arc. The outside follows The Template and the inside is an exponential horn to couple with the base pressure. aerohead can probably falsify this if necessary, I think the base [low-]pressure communicates forward through the horn and accelerates the air moving under the car. Produces downforce without drag. Maybe.

It could work, with red and amber LED strip lighting.
Could you explain this a little more, maybe with a visual representation? I think I know what you are saying. Go from how my car is shaped to more of a half-moon, looking at it from the front. Do this as soon as possible, right?

What do you mean by exponential horn and drop pants? Maybe it is because it's 2:52 a.m. is why I'm not understanding lol
