But I love how the rear end is accentuated without a wing. Really brings out the body lines of the roof to hatch area plus the little lip at the end, which gets unnoticed with a wing there. I think the wheels at the absolute back end of the car help the look without the wing there.

Hell yea, dzus might just work!

Just be real careful man, make sure it is strong strong strong. I always think back to this crash caused by the uprights of an aftermarket wing failing and it tipping over:
