I'm working on bolting the trailing end of the duck tail to the aero cap with some ovaling to allow movement fer the hatch when lifted up. The front end is still taped back down with Gorilla tape...
Wow. I thought I did good over the weekend; 18+ MPG (30 mph crosswind) going up to OKC from Wichita Falls @70mph, and 14.5 MPG (28 mph headwind) on the return trip Monday.

Did you ever consider using composite lumber for the bumper extension? Would it be too heavy?
