My zr2 blazer weighs about as much as an XJ (~3900lb empty), and it starts getting "floaty" around 85mph, less (as in, within highway speed limits) when I'm driving against a good head wind. I remember this feeling from my old TR7 that would go nose up and scare the crap outta me at 120 (back then I was actually just stupid and did my high speed playing on public highways)

So.. I'd be a little afraid to make my vehicle look TOO much like an airplane wing. I bet your ugliest frontal spots aero-wise are the corners of the hood and the corners of the windshield, maybe you can shave-and-french those down into a slipperier shape and then add the little tail spat thing to your hatch?
