Yeah. I agree. My first wheel well blanks fit the well itself. My current third gen extends behind the well. And I now think it is maybe too small. On this design I would definitely recommend a longer trailing edge to smooth the transition from the skirt to the rear bumper cover. Also, use the rolled plastic I used. Keeps its color and looks much better than coroplast.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
