ChazInMT, I never said that you were wrong, Tyler was wrong or the aero template was wrong - remember that.

I've stated that rescaling the template for smaller scale protrusions like the Gurney Bubble works and achieved agreement.

The earlier +2005 Mustang example also caused some people to rethink how the template could be interpreted.

The trailing edge roof spoilers on econoboxes and the roof garnish on pick-up trucks also seems to be cases where increasing the angle of inclination over that of the aero-template (at full scale) works.

At some point you have to admit my discovery of a connection between the template and rescaling has validity. One size in fact does not fit all.

You have seen and noted several Japanese hybrids veering from the idealized 3D aero shape at least in profile, and this raised a question. This very question I have attempted to answer with rescaling exercises.

If you cannot see what is before you, then you are surely blind.

How much more obvious can I make it?

The aero-template works.

Rescaling the aero-template works to some degree, but it is not the maximized application of this tool.

EDIT-1:

A more detailed examination of this body style and rescaling of template.
