Add some fold-out panels. Pretty much the same shape back there

I'm actually planning on building one of these for my JL once I get the AEV rear bumper. I'll gladly look like an idiot for a few extra MPG.

I don’t know how many gains there are here though. You’d need to consider the daily use at higher speeds, weight of add-ons, cost of add-ons, and potential depreciated value of the Jeep (depending on the quality of the install).

For the JL model, they did create a lip spoiler on the hard top, but your biggest obstacle (the front end of a brick) still remains.

Just make sure you extend the third brake light up for maximum downforce.

Good call!!! I'm not used to taking into consideration aerodynamics when beating the air into submission as I'm rolling down the highway.

I bought a FJ80 land cruiser that had an aluminum air deflector on the rear hatch, the first time I took it out wheelin a tree removed it for me. I can't imagine how bad that will destroy a hard top on a jeep.

Ok, so we need to add spoiler limb risers to the list.

Anyone else thinking what I'm thinking? A gold Metalcloak "overcloak" spoiler with active (six pack) aero and limb risers with duroflex joints.
