I have a question about which template is correct; the web app, or the jpeg in this thread? Refer to the Aston Martin Vantage pics. Web app in white, forum template in green.

Designers have been scaling the template to the leading edge of the bumper to good effect. the GM Precept concept had 0.175 in "production" state, and was a bit lower with some cleaned up details (around 0.157). It only contends with the air that's being pushed up over the car - it's not exactly in ground effect.

The Model Y does this as well. I think a box extending from the back would stop any downwash from the back screen and clean up the flow.
