So there are plenty of relatively newer vehicles to apply your eco/aero lessons. Hopefully the aftermarket will soon catch on to your aero projects and make it readily available. Smooth wheels, wheel-well covers, aerolids (tm?), adjustable grill blocks, etc. and even boat-tails?!
The K-wing could look good, gain easy acceptance and some real aero efficiency on plenty of applicable vehicles.
Perhaps the boat tail could be marketed as the 'mother-in-law' compartment?
