VOTE! Modification of the Year - 2010

[Weather Spotter]

I am honored to have my project in the running!

But does my boat tail even count? The build spans late December but my first test run was the first week in December. It is true I did all of the planning and most of the work in 2010.

Thoughts?

For some crazy reason I luv me some of them thar truck aeromods and his are pretty dang awesome!!

3-Wheeler's Insight Boattail has my vote. It's extremely well done and cleanly executed. The only thing that would make it better is color matching paint. Other than the color difference, it looks like a factory option.

I voted for the Insight boat tail. As impressive as the DIY hybrid metro and the dolphin are, neither car would work in my world, and my world is the only one that matters.

I decided to vote on something 'real world' so the boat tails were out. So were anything I regard as pointless (flame war!) like modifying trucks and other 4WDs. That left a couple hybrids, Wonderboy's engine swap and my eventual vote, the gearbox change. Possibly the simplest and highest ratio cost/gain mod from my shortlist.

How is a boat tail not "real world"?

I wonder if Jim's Insight with tail is not much longer than your Golf Estate.

PS - I still haven't voted. Waffling.

I don't mean any offense to that statement (unlike my one about trucks and 4WDs!), it's just not possible for anyone, or everyone, to mod themselves. Plus, it's not to everyone's taste and not very practical either.

True, it dramatically reduces your drag, but makes your car impractical to use without adapting the tail to open for luggage, etc. Like I said, no offense to those that have - in fact a big 'well done' for being so enthusiastic - but not practical for everyday family use in my opinion.

I would have to disagree. My tail has added cargo room. I now can fit 12' lumber in my car (with out I could only get 8'). I think that most cars can add a tail and make it work.

I voted but I did not vote for my project (others feel free ). I had to go with Jim's tail as it was my inspiration to do my project.
