right but to build it out of anything even semi permanent is going to cost more than that...
though, 6% is a good number, and nickle and diming works both ways so it could help to lead up to an impressive deal. but wouldnt a small roofline extension and short side extensions give almost all the same benefit? (I felt I should actually add something productive instead of whining about a giant kamma) cause thats something that would more likely be put on more vans an such, a few short little extensions could look cool even
