Filling with foam is also a possible scenario.
Been also considering vortex generators just before the taillights, as to force the air to "hug" and re-attach onto the upper kamm tail side wall. A tuft test might shed some light.

On an episode of 'Rick's Restorations' he reproduced the original Carl's Jr.' fast food illuminated outdoor sign for the founder.
The 'body' was rendered in AUTO CAD, medium density fiberboard tooling was constructed, over which heated Lexan was vacuum-formed to create the complicated 3D shape.
To properly do clear covers would require the same degree of fabrication sophistication.
If it weren't a 3-D bend involved, you could fake it with a 1600-Watt heat gun and a crude wooden form.
I don't know about VGs. What you're looking for is the graduated deceleration and pressure recovery that the complex shape would provide, not just 'attachment.'
