Picture 1 of 2 from Album Suzuki Swift Aero Mods

I called it the SedanKamm. It was great for aero (+6% FE), great for reducing the heat load into the car (from solar gain), and great for getting questions. It was a bit hard to see out of due to the super thin rear window (it still met all codes), and the tendency to reflect on the inside. Overall, I would give it an A+ for a prototype, if it was a final version, it would get a B. You can see that the results of the tuft test confirmed attached flow.

Yeah, the rear window was kind of hard to see through, but this was the last of the acrylic, and all of it got used . I was able to see the horizon (barely) through the rear view mirror, and I was able to see around me well enough to back into parking spots without using mirrors. You would be surprised, but all that big white area on the sides barely impacted my view around me. If I were to build a final version, I would have the windown go another 6" or so up, and another foot down, just for visibility. I miss it, and I miss getting 51mpg at 70 mph!
