Hello

Hey everyone,

I've been hanging around Ecomodder for a while now, and finally got around to making an account. I'm an Aerospace Engineering student at Ohio State, so my interest lies in the Aerodynamics side of things.

I recently got a 2008 Ford Ranger which I have some aeromodding plans for. I also plan on running some CFD simulations on flow around my truck in its stock configuration, with half a flat tonneau cover, a full flat tonneau, a cap and an "Aero-Cap".

I had been thinking about Aerocaps for a while before finding my way here via Autoblog Green's article on Basjoos' Civic, only to find multiple threads about them!

Anyway, here are some pictures first of my truck as is, and second with my early ideas for aeromods. The front end has been enhanced because it was a bit dark to see any details.
