proper scale

I'd definitely be able to seal the edge of any spoiler/sing to the glass and I'd be interested in potential gains based on a properly scaled image.



Thought you might say that. I'm definitely wanting to play around with the idea and see how the numbers shake out. You used two sided tape for a test fit/run, correct?
Short of actual technical drawings from Honda,a photo from 200-meters with a telephoto lens would fairly approximate true length images.
Some factory brochures have technical images.GOOGLING: automotive blueprints might lead to technical drawings which can be printed from the source.These are 3-view drawings typically,so they also help with plan-view-sourced mods to respect 3-D flow.
It's worth the effort to have the details.Aft-body flow is where the war is won or lost.If we try and fake it,the air will respond accordingly.
