I don't mean any offense to that statement (unlike my one about trucks and 4WDs!), it's just not possible for anyone, or everyone, to mod themselves. Plus, it's not to everyone's taste and not very practical either.

True, it dramatically reduces your drag, but makes your car impractical to use without adapting the tail to open for luggage, etc. Like I said, no offense to those that have - in fact a big 'well done' for being so enthusiastic - but not practical for everyday family use in my opinion.
