LOL! Didn't think of that. You'd have to wonder though. What was his motivation for making that? If it was aero then he got it seriously wrong, as Alohaspirit pointed out.

At least with the aerocaps people have made here you can still use the bed. That just makes it completely useless. Might as well be driving around a 2 door coupe.
