That's the one I saw! He has quite the following, and his craftsmanship puts my model to shame! I've heard this one said, "There's nothing new under the sun", and it applies here too I guess.

Using Bondo's design, could the shape be extended (at the same angle) a couple of feet beyond the tailgate with additional FE benefit?
At least in California the law used to allow something to extend up to 3 feet beyond the rear of the vehicle without having to hang a red flag on it--not sure if that's still the law or not.
Of course that would complicate the rear lighting issue.
