Yes. But you needn't. Building over the backlight on a Prius, which is so well optimized already, compromises functionality with little hope of much benefit. Both visibility and hatch access will be adversely affected. Better to start your tail at the spoiler. And you might amend this bottom part. The angle of the diffuser seems to quick. You will want a more gentle rise, if other projects are prescriptive.

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.
