Thanks for the chuckle! Right up there with copper and lead, I'm sure.

Nah, I'll just stick it inside the hatchback where it belongs.

It was the right way to do it when I was aiming for complex curves. With the simple curves I ended up with (see up the thread for the great stuff foam problems), plastic or plexi would have worked. But I'd already started.

It'll be easily removable. I did however drill the hatch to attach mounting brackets last night, so those holes would need to be covered if I ever removed it. I was loath to drill. But... it's in an area that isn't rust prone (the vertical metal above the rear glass), which was my main concern.
Yes, the car is a bit of a time capsule with ridiculously low mileage. But it is just a car, and I'm not planning to sell it, or put it in car shows. So I got over it, plugged in the drill, and pulled the trigger.

They're already available. Approx 2% improvement @ 55 mph.
