Voila - you've spent more money than you can recover reasonably.

The idea doesnt' look bad though, for a boat tailed Honda. Throw in a VX swap, and you're golden.
The taper of the boattail in the illustrated plan view above follows the tear drop template angle that is posted elsewhere on this site. To taper the car anymore than what is shown would be a HUGE undertaking. You would have to section the entire car. You would run into problems with everything from motor mounts to the fit of the dash.
Then you would have the real hard part to solve - the rear wheel.

I must admit it does make me think of a 3 wheeler.

pgfpro - do you have a VX engine in the car now ? ( I notice you are getting over 60 MPG )
