An aerodynamic component disposed on a side face of an upper rear part of an automobile vehicle body and reduces a lift coefficient of a vehicle body rear part, includes a plate-shaped base part and a fin projectingly provided on a front face of the base part, wherein the base part gently increases in thickness from a front edge side to a rear edge side, and has at the rear edge a shape that rises steeply with respect to the side face of the upper rear part of the vehicle body. Therefore, it is possible for the aerodynamic component to generate a turbulent vortex in the air flow passing the vehicle body upper rear part to thus decrease the lift coefficient of the vehicle body rear part and ensure the ground load for the rear wheel, thereby enabling the handling stability of the vehicle to be enhanced.
