It looks like flow reattaches at the boot and separates cleanly off the top end of the trunk. I’ve posted some tuft-test photos here:

The 2022 civic coupe has a very neat rear end. It’s a very true-to-form fast back and has some sharp separation edges at the rear. My issue being that my rear end isn’t really like that at all. I can’t really get it to take that shape without a lot of modification, hence why I’m looking at raising the lid. The 2022 Civic sedan is a bit of a better model. You can see the progressive raising of the trunk’s height over the different model years.

I think I might go ahead and test out some prototype aero mods. I want to raise the lid toward the base of the windshield, and drop it down towards the car’s rear,, flowing out into a rear bonneville-wing type extension. I think that would work very well as a fastback substitute.
