Are you going to cover the hood raise foam and the tail foam with something? More fiberglass perhaps?

The extentions that are behind the rear wheels could be sectioned so as to straighten the turbulent flow from the wheels. Also, there could be channels and extentions that not only act as a diffuser, but would be angled inward to 'pinch' the airflow into a tighter wake pattern.
Don't get me wrong here - I'm rooting for ya and admire the gonzo approach of letting this project flow along like an eruption of Vesuvius. I love following it but... am I the only one here willing to bet (a Guinness) that all of that foam ends up on the interstate when you hit 53 MPH?
tested it up to 75mph already without the rear quarters on .. all stayed there just fine, realize its all fiberglassed over when done
I'm modifying a model of your CRX with some modifications done to it.
I'd like to run some CFD tests on it to find an optimal shape.
Here is what I was thinking you could do to the tail :
Yeah uyou are doing exactly what I'm doing.. when i constructer the rear end i started just going with what worked and I saw exactly what you drew up in my head , like the bottom of a F1 fararri...
And damn those models you made are sweet!!!

OK new Pics of the roughed out tail.. there will be boat tails behind the tires and as seen in the above 3d drawings the center section will be higher than the tire tails.
