polymetal & magnets

Considering a 6mm high 4'×8' sheet of black polymetal and 3mm high or 4mm high neodymium magnets with countersunk holes in them. Washers, counter sink screws, nuts, and some sort of plastic or rubber insulator for the paint/magnet contact area would complete the kit. Would make underside supports from scrap because turnbuckles seem too heavy and conspicuously like a racecar. People already mistake Black & Green for a drift car (lol).

I could use a hole saw to set the magnets into the polymetal so the sheet is flush with the decklid. Thoughts?

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.
