Honestly I have been daydreaming about building the other half of the aeroshell and having it hinged off of what I already built, but I need to get some other projects wrapped up before I embark on something that involved. A half tonneau would be a lot easier, but the AST-II overlay shows the air wanting to be about 6” or so above the tailgate. I know it would improve the flow some, but I don’t really know how much.

From the Texas Tech research they would have us expect about a 12% additional drag reduction from completing the shell.6% more mpg on the highway.
