Sit in the driver seat and watch in your mirror while someone moves a shop rag or something around and note where the blind spots are. Then you can see what needs to be clear. ....or cut away. The transition onto any addition will be in the blind spot on the C-pillar.
It's good to have a plan. I try not to rush things too, eventual success counts.

...$50? Wow, from my research I calculated over $200 just for parts alone. I can see how a recycler would be a good resource though.
Maybe I could remove the rear window, rear hatch, etc. and use a kammback to double the storage space in my car...don't laugh at me for this lol.

7th gen HCH is 0.28 and the standard sedan is 0.36 (I think).
I thought spoilers in general added drag?
How about this as a mini-kammback? Or would this add drag?

Or these vortex generators?
