Perhaps something other than white, black or silver might help?
If I had money, I might pay a guy from the best lowrider paint tradition to make a work of a large, good aero car, such as a Tesla Model S, or a small one such as the Gen1 Insight, and transform it in a unique way... this vid is about a great legendary car of the lowrider scene, now preserved in the Smithsonian, apparently.

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.
