Yeah, but that only covers tonneau covers. Like I said, I'm not saying that this tapered cap won't do something better than an open bed, but I'm also not saying it's going to be the best option available retail... a simple $3 piece of rubber trim mounted at like 45* to the tapered plane as a trip spoiler is what I'm suggesting, a la 70's gas crisis Pinto.

No telling which product(s) they've tested, and nothing scientific about that page except that they claim to have done scientific testing. I don't doubt they have, LEER is a pretty reputable company. I just still (intuitively, of course) think that they didn't "go all the way" on this design.

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.
