I'll consider that, but I also hope to remove and reinstall it for testing.

Maybe some combination of that and a small amount of tape for the purposes of testing, then something more permanent if I like the results.

Hahaha! Can't do that (yet), but I am a little concerned that it might be too short if Idon't push the legal length a little. What do you (or anyone else) think of a small box cavity shape to augment the shorter spoiler?

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.
