All this clear wheel cover talk got me thinking about rear wheel skirts. Covered rear wheel wells tend to look funny because auto makers don't put them on stock cars. I don't want my truck to look funny but I want to get great MPG so I am thinking of making rear wheel skirts and wheel covers out of 1/16" polycarbonate. a 24 X 48" sheet is only a little over $20 on Mcmaster Carr and if you fold the edges all the way over (seem it like sheet metal) it can be quite ridged. Not sure how to do that but I think it's about time I learn!
