Yes.

I still have a hunch that the downward sloping angle of my tail is too steep, and does not match the existing angle of the Insight hatchback well enough.

Changing it would not be easy since the tail is almost finished, but the idea is still in the back of my mind.

Tuft testing would certainly help.

I just thought of a mounting location for the "remote" camera that Metro used. The license plate mounts!

Will keep that in mind.

Jim.
