hey all-
i've decided to make an aero...something for my frontier's bed.

for the use of mine, mostly 45-55mph with a bit of city driving, whether a tonneau cover or a aero cap would be more beneficial. because i would love to try making an aerocap like bondo and others have, but i think that a tonneau would be a bit easier to make and if the benefits were same/similar then i'd go with that. also, wouldn't a back half-tonneau with something trailing off the back edge of the cab do the same as an aero cap?

any input would be awesome
