I'm planning on that! I was out the other day measuring and taking pictures to compare markings to the streamlining template, and got a good shape for the side supports. When the weather dries up I'll start working on it. First, I'll need to do a quick and sloppy partial mockup to see how much visibility I'll lose from the rear, and find out if I'll need to pick up some polycarbonate sheets.

On a sidenote, I can't help but smile when I see ads for new cars that get an "impressive" 35 MPG highway, beating out other models. I was getting 40 MPG combined before I did anything to this 15 year old car.
