Life is a balance.
3Wheeler made a beautiful tail on his Insight, but it took 2 years.
Basjoos did it in a short time and reaped the fuel benifits.
Would I "Basjoos" a new Insight? No more than I would spend 2yrs modifying on a 20yr old beater.
In the non-ricer performance world, it doesn't matter how it looks when all you see is tail lights.
I have had a few vehicles with multi color bodies and steel rims that had thousands in engine and chassis work. I've passed cars with $10K paint jobs and stock drivelines.
Its all a matter of priorities.
Basjoos, you inspire us all !
