Just read the whole thread. Lot of good info in there I didn't think would be applicable at first (hence why I haven't digested the thread before). After all, what applicable information could be found in a thread ecomodding a two seat roadster? But I was wrong!

If it is open in the back, then the parachute comment does not apply. Instead look up the rear wheel strakes on the back of a Prius circa 2007. Like yours it sorta extends the side skirt to the back bumper, but it also creats a strake behind each tire, reducing drag induced by the back of the tire itself, I presume. All of it is integrated into a rear diffuser assembly. Always have admired and wished I could buy and install that part on my vehicle.

So something like that could possibly work, but only if I had a belly pan and rear diffuser installed to stop the parachuting?
