Looking for picture/video of DIY/Home streamlining of an Automobile?

Some time in the last few months, I saw a picture or video of an automobile that had been modified to add a "streamlined" nose, rear wheel skirts, and other items.

All made by someones personal ingenuity, not a manufacturer.

I cannot find it again. Maybe it was tree-hugger, or a yahoo group, I dont know.

If someone has seen something like that, please post it here. first one gets the points,

thanks

Update:

The streamlining engineer for NASA, an acquantance of mine, indicated that his modeling shows drastic improvements in MPG by just covering wheel wells, door handles, taking off roof racks, smoothjing out protrusions under the car. Big improvements, like going from 21mpg to 30mpg at 60 mph on some late model vehicles, especially SUV's.

    The new cars are streamlined. Leave it alone. The guy you saw was screwing it up. He didn't know what he was doing.
