It's funny, the part itself would not really be that big. I've toyed with the idea of making them out of inflatable material...how cool would that be? You inflate the part and strap it onto the trunk lid to fill the gap. Even a 5% gain in FE would take me from 37mpg to 39 mpg.

Sounds really good, except that you don't want to use screws to attach the foam to the framework. (Well, unless you can find screws with ridiculously large helical ridges).
An inflatable aeromod... I was thinking to do the same with my aerocap. It'd be pretty neat to flip a switch, cause an air pump to turn on, and watch an aerocap appear as if from nowhere.
