iMiEV owners and aeromods

So, I've been reading up on the Mitsubishi iMiEV since used prices are ridiculously low on these things, like $8-10k low with ~10k miles for a 2012. While its not a pretty car (imo), and the range isn't terrific, the price is quite reasonable for an EV! So, I've been considering getting one, reading up on them, etc. This of course leads me to the iMiEV forums. There, I find a post by Neil about aeromods. I find it hilarious that they initially bawk at it saying it'll make the car look "silly" (really? lol). But, they seem to warm up after a while and a little schooling by Neil. Just thought I'd share the link and some cool pics:
