On the other hand, if the boat-tail hit something, or if another car hit the boat-tail, what would happen?
Without a rigid frame stretching out the boat-tail, it probably wouldn't even scratch the offending car.
An inflatable boat-tail could be much SAFER that a rigid one. I think a material similar to to mylar but with out the shine would be great to work with.
Still, the challenge will be how to attach it to the vehicle in such a way so that it is well attached, but still stows/removes easily.
I would STILL love to see someone ACTUALLY MAKE an inflatable boat tail. There has been lots of talk of it, but I have never seen anyone actually make one yet!
(I will add it to my list of projects, but it wouldn't be til 2012 that I would get to it!)
