The BZP cap has a better (shallower) angle and I whacked mine off at the tailgate. (I have a long truck and a short garage.) But both taper in the plan view, leading to smaller wake area. BZP's has to be lighter than mine. I used rubber matting for the skin and that demanded a sturdier structure.
My short and too-steep cap was the best MPG configuration I've had. BZP should do well with this one.

As I've been experimenting with my aero cap, I've studied the many different ones posted here in the forums and they have inspired the direction I've headed towards. Though my build will keep evolving, I will keep trying to learn from others so I can keep an open attitude on my builds. Thanks fer the inspiration!
It just so happens that the many "mistakes" I have in my aero cap has been a blessing when continuing the build with the boat tail. I didn't cut the aero cap off at the tail gate as I wasn't sure how short it should be. It turns out that the extended length was perfect fer attaching the canopy and side gap covers between the single wheel trailer and aero cap.
