Don't really know yet. Would do some material testing. Best way I think is to shape the tail while installed on car and lay up the outter layer on the car.

I'm beginning to realize I have a serious problem with the whole thing. Wife and I travel extensively by motorhome. The Insight front end gets bumped up onto a car dolly for towing. A boattail is gonna be just that much lower to the pavement and obstructions. If it goes on/off quickly enough, that could be a solution. She wants a used Metro and that would be even better
