With the right materials (perhaps more rigid that playing cards), good calculations (which could be hard without experience), and a good process with resin and fiberglass, a modder could make some unusual and effective compound curves for aero features using this interlocking cards technique, no? Idle wondering. Cool edit though.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
