Aero mod advice for 1G Insight

For those familiar with the 1G insight, I want to remove the spare tire box from the rear of the car and also trim the body pretty much removing the black trim in the picture. The reason Im doing this is to attach a trailer hitch in the 5th wheel position so my custom trailer will ride much closer to the car. My question is...

***Can I turn this mod into one that will actually help in aero efficiency when not towing?***

Incase you are wondering I will have supporting drivetrain including brake mods to support towing and while MPG is important, it isn't a primary goal.

I included a pic of what inspires the idea with out all the race bling.
