Solus - Cross-Flow Vortex Traps
Or maybe kinda like the Frame Extension indea Solus - Frame Extension

But I think the sides came out too streamlined and the VG effect isn't there.
I'm betting the flow around the tail lights is remaining somewhat attached..
(Or may be better attached, if I added some ZZ tape forward of the tail lights)!

The top section bends down just a tad, maybe giving it a little boat-tail effect.
You're right about the tail-lights. Plus, I didn't want anything that was Too big.

Here's all my pics http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...ards-5152.html
