I can visualize it, but do you know examples? I think eagle could experiment with sturdy cardboard fins, attached with painter's tape, which should hold fine for testing in a spot like this on the car.

You can experiement with lots of positions. Tuft testing will help you understand what to keep.

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.
