Well, I just think if you can become notorious for reverse engineering the aero of production vehicles and making significant improvements on what they already paid their engineers to do... and all the while make it look GOOD and work well, then basically that is a great selling point if you are trying to get yourself a job. Right?

But, cart before the horse. Sorry for going off topic.

Yeah,it's funny.A lot of what kids in Southern California were doing in their garages and driveways in the 1960s ended up on mass-produced production cars,with all the fit and finish we expect from an automaker.As the notion of
"performance" morphs from the notion of adding horsepower,to reducing load,the forms which can do that should grow in visibility and how people assess performance.What really hurts the auto industry is "styling".They practice TRALAND Engineering.Trash and Landfill.Whatever is "New" today is in the trash and landfill in 365-days.It's in total opposition of Industrial- Revolution- think and precludes many from markets because of the added waste and cost of products predicated soley on "difference."------------ Tooling costs for capital products which change every year make for enormous annual expenditures."One size fits all" is impossible.------- I'm hopeful that bondo's enterprise will take off.Ford can't afford to change the F-150's bed every year,so he's got a chance to make a bunch of aeroshells before they do a major "face-lift." Retired executives,patent attorneys and venture capitalists laughed me out of the federal building in Dallas back in the 1980s after my inquiries into production of aftermarket aero.Takes a big man with a big wallet to enter the game.
