Spotted on Reddit / in the wild: full boat tail ~1996 Civic sedan (anyone we know?)
REDDIT: I have no clue what this is : WTF
I like that there are people in the REDDIT thread who jump right and explain it to those who don't get it.
Looks like there's a lawn edging air dam up front, too.

If it is *not* someone registered here on EM, then they are probably a lurker here. That looks a lot like Jethro's in form, but it uses different materials.

I thought it looked like Mr Bodine's tail too.
Also looks like it might have been a hatchback tail re-purposed for sedan use (my guess based on where it transitions from a rectangular cross-section to a rounder one, just aft of where the original rear bumper is hidden).

I sure would be cool if the guys leaving comments on Reddit were just ordinary guys that are not members here.
I would love to see the day when aerodynamics become common knowledge.
