Some of our members have writeups on it. mjspeiss also comes to mind, as he's done some aeromods like you are suggesting. http://geometroforum.com/topic/2926693/1/ He lives in Lansing....not too far from you.

I don't think anyone has ever made a full boat tail on an '89-'94 Metro...at least that I've come across, but the concept is the same.
