Rear bumper cover... Parachute?

Has anyone heard of, or cut their rear bumper to reduce drag?

Coming from the Miata world, we've seen gains of 10 to 15 kmh increases after cutting the rear bumper cover, on a 170 kmh straight.

Just wanted to see if anyone has any experience with this before I start chopping things up, heh.

If you wanna try it just remove the lower valance, it’s held on by T25 Torx and can be reinstalled if you change your mind
