I'm confused, so I will post some images to go with certain terms of phrases.

Box Cavity:

Wing

Rear Spoiler: Bonneville-style rear deck extension

Not to be nit-picky but words can mean one thing to one person, and another thing to another person.

A wing is up and into the airflow, a spoiler interrupts said flow, a Kammback is like a fastback only more so because it maintains air attachment and isn't just a styling statement, and a Box Cavity may overlap with several of the preceding terms but in short distinguishes it's self with an absence or negative space.

It sounds like you want to build a "Box Cavity" and should call it that.

Not as exciting sounding as a "wing" but that's the marketing department's problem.

You could say your Box Cavity is an open ended Kammback if it's like that white VW van - the very first image.

Everyone would be quite confused until you post a picture though.

The bottom image is a rear spoiler, box cavity and has vertical wing stubs (stall fences if on aircraft).

Now I'm back to being confused?
