Looks clean and like a spaceship! I think the side skirts behind the tires might be counter productive. Is that aft section open at the bottom facing the road? It will be more like a parachute that way. A rear diffuser more like what was on the circa 2006 Prius would have some of what you seem to want. The whole area behind the rear axle, under the car, it a parachute on a lot of these Civics.

I like the side skirt & wheel skirt integration a lot.

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.
