Aero template on 2011 Genesis Coupe

Can someone put the aerodynamics template on the 2011 Genesis coupe without the rear wing? I'm incapable of photoshop skills. As far as I'm aware, this car has a drag coefficent of .32.

Thank you! So it looks like the coupe reaches about 60% of the template? I cant quite read the numbers. Also, how much of a negative affect does having a deeper slope in the back of the car have on aerodynamics compared to the one on the template?

You may be okay just as you are.There's been enough controversy over the initial contour on the 'Template' that I've been looking at some other 2.5:1 teardrops from which to compare.
One so far has a bit more radical early curvature but never exceeds the 22-degree Mair limit.
What I'd ask you to do before you spend any precious time or money,is to compare your car to the 1st,or 2nd-gen Honda Insight.
This new 'teardrop' has a contour which is a dead match to that of the two Hondas.
It may be that the Genesis is the same way and all you'd have to do is just extend the tail as ThreeWheeler has done on his Insight.
I need to spend some time with this.Sorry!
