Doesn't look too bad, did decide to run as a 12" deflector.


So here's what I have to fix:


I gotta see if I have some pool noodles around, those were good for a gap on the old truck camper...
That should help with aero. I haven't been ABA religious about mine I data correlation agrees with qualitative perception and theoretical basis.

Will the back side of your gap cap be open or closed? If open, swirl from separation bubble eddies reach inside as deep as they can. If you drive through rain it won't stay dry unless closed up. Closed requires engineering convenient access. It'll be interesting to see your solution and learn from your experience.
