I agree about the skirts, but as far as the rear... I think it looks fine as it is and is quite square like in my opinion. as far as increase drag... I disagree that that would necessarily be a bad thing.

I think it would be a good thing because it's forcing the air to move faster up and over the top of the vehicle and the way the bottom is shaped it would split air where it is needed and it would increase the downforce slightly and lower the movement of air across the vehicle. With the pointy front it makes it more like a wing and allows too much flow underneath the car. And as far as looking like a tuner or any other modified car or other car.... I don't think that's a bad thing. It doesn't make it a ricer.... it's not like its ridiculously over extravagant and unneeded curves.
