Dust test on rear end of 1999 Acura EL - 1999 Civic

It seems that separation edges are important in terms of drag and car noise in the passenger compartment. All newer cars and SUVs have separation edges at the rear end. So maybe I could fix the lack of such edges on my 1999 Acura EL and reduce this car drag somewhat.

Folowing indications from Julian Edgar book, I drove many runs on a dusty road. I am at a loss to read the dust deposition and identify the appropriate position of the separation edges. So please, have a look at my pictures and give me your opinion on the position of such edges. HELP! HELP! HELP!
