Hey, is there any particular reason why the block would be more preferable at the rear of the spoiler tunnel than at the front? What if it was blocked in the front with some sort of curvy "ramp" to further entice the air over and around the spoiler?
akashic,at some fabric stores,they carry a very heavy, clear sheet vinyl,which when stretched tight and stapled down, is almost as clear as glass,virtually weightless and a fraction of cost of rigid plex.It's probably tough enough to get you through testing to see if a more permanent and "expensive" mod is justified.
Just a thought.
