Shouldn't you tear it down to the deck?
The extention was just to see how far the current angles would play out IF I wanted to see where it would end up. Now that I have the trailer receiver hitch in place, I can easily attach various experiments to see how they will play out and how much clearance I will need with the current configuration. I know that extending the current setup by 2' Dark Aero will just barely clear turns on the road but not very well in a parking lot.

Since the current version of the aero cap isn't as fast as the template, I was curious on where the convergent point would end up at. In order fer the aero cap and trailer to match up to the template, I would have to drop the back end of the aero cap main rails and rebuild everything. I'm not ready to do that just yet as I have more skill sets to build on first IF I move in that direction.

Dark Aero will be rebuilt to match the template once the aero cap is rebuilt closer to the template first. If anything, Dark Aero's rear deck would drop about halfway from where it is now. Fer now, I will work with what I have built up to the present.
