Not at first. I am going to coat the thing with some sort of epoxy-based coating, and then coat that with fiberglass.

Here are pictures of the finished aerocap. The first three are of me installing the 6 bolts securing the cap to the truck bed.













Yes, the pictures show a huge (~8 inch) gap between the aerocap and the cab. That is slowly being filled in. I expect that fuel economy will rise a little bit once the gap is filled in.
