Yeah the paint job is from having mismatched body panels after the last deer strike two years ago. It was originally a metallic blue grey color like so many that year.

I probably will use some pink board foam sheeting and make the tail. I'll use duct tape up against the body to act as a mold release. Spray glue on the foam then lay on dry composite. Paint on some epoxy. It is a pretty simple process More time will be spent with getting the finish smooth.

I am not sure if it is enough to make any real difference. I am not willing to add a long tail. Too many issues in parking. The long straight sides and roof probably account for a lot of wind shear in cross winds anyway.
