It looks pretty good. I'd radius the horizontal edges because otherwise the smooth wake your working for will be disrupted in the last foot. It might anyway, that notch is big enough for recirculation.
The forward facing fins are called Vortex traps on semi-trailers (lower right).
You might put clear plastic vortex traps in the taillight cutout, now that I think about it. Are you going to have turn signal repeaters? |
Yep, turn and brake in the base plate. I'm going to try and work on it more tomorrow, and just radius all the front edges.
Vortex traps in the taillight cutouts is a good idea, and I just happen to have a big piece of acrylic that I could chop up....
