Most people seem fairly passive about the tail and don't seem to care either way.
We are having some work done in our office area by general contractors and one of them asked how much more fuel mileage I was getting. In otherwords, he could tell just by the shape that aero efficiency was the goal, but had no idea that the car can get close to or over 100 mpg. Most people guess about 50 or so for some reason.
I'm hoping the tail will get more people thinking that aero is cool!! It helps everyone out in the long run.
Robert, go for it! And contact me when you want to discuss working with foam more. We're all on this planet for one reason or another, and mine seems to be helping with foam of all things.
