Aerohead, that is very good info. If a person is walking close enough to smack their ankle on the rear of my car, then they should back up! Haha. I do believe the OEM diffuser on my car has too steep an angle and *could* do better if it was less steep. I love the look of the EQXX and I think that could apply well to this car.

On the topic of boat-tails…I may very well switch up on my own tastes and try one out. My biggest concern is how to tackle the issue of tail-lights and license plate lighting. I’ve designed the rear extensions on my car to keep the taillights “open”, which looks ugly and isn’t good for the aero. But I’ve done it to keep the car from being pulled over, as well as meet my design criteria.

My second concern is more about the aero. I don’t feel a boat tail is worth pursuing until I fix up the airflow ahead of it.

But yes, a boat tail has been crossing my mind.
