Hey Chaz, I was considering something similar to your idea. On a nice car, I think that is the way to go, and as long as it is built rigid enough I don't see any problems with it. Other than trunk access.

My car is already very rough, scratched, rusted, etc etc. So for me, drilling into to the car really isnt an issue. As I said, trunk access has to be very easy and quick, so trying to reach in and loosen straps, and then have to out them back on, tighten them up again ks just too much of a hassle. In the right application and use of the car, you're idea is awesome, and probably a lot better than mine, especially for no damage/ Paint scratches and being removable.

I am going to try and make this as good as possible, so the least amount of disturbed flow is one of the main goals. I will be building the kamm with rounded corners on the top to side transition, and aiming for 15'. I'm excited to start building it, and I hope that my planning will pay off for me, with the build and mpg numbers.
