Rear Parachute
I drive an '06 Aveo hatchback, so naturally I've been checking out the redesigned '09. I noticed on the '09 rear bumper what appeared to be a 3-4 inch wide grill or vent spanning almost the entire length of the bumper. Now, I've never seen one in person but apparently that is fake, i.e., not a vent at all but a decorative stick-on.
But it got me thinking about the whole 'parachute' nature of my rear bumper. I looked under the bumper on my car and it looks like the bumper (cover) comes down at least 6 inches below the actual bumper (safety device). I was thinking cutting out vents (or even copying the look of the '09 Aveo with a full-length grill-type thingy) would reduce drag by quite a bit.
Am I dreaming? Think this would accomplish anything for FE?
