Yes. But I have never seen anyone attempt a mod like this. But a different approach would be the "boattail" fairings another great project on this site featured: Vekke's http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...tml#post251416

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.
