Geo Metro Truck?
 
1 Attachment(s)
I have a question to you all.

To truck, or not to truck?

Would making my own "aero bed cover" for my Geo be more aerodynamic or less than if I left it stock?

I have not modded my Geo into a truck, yet. So I am wondering would it make more sense to mod it into a truck, or leave it like it is?

Depends on how you use it.

I think it's safe to say, the aero is worse than stock, bedcover or not.

However, if you made an aeroshell for it... :thumbup:

I said "aero bed cover", the terms must not be interchangeable.

Yes, I would make an aeroshell for it, possibly make it go past the "tailgate".

Oh. Bed covers a.k.a. tonneau covers are aero too and they are flat so I think the distinction must be made.

"Aerodynamic bed shell" it is.

Settled! :thumbup:

Now... do you ever put more than 2 people in it?

There's a bed for a reason. :P

That is something i will have to decide. Usually it is just me, but occasionally it is 1 friend. SUPER rarely it is 4. I have a 4 door truck (hopefully soon to be Jeep Cherokee) that I can carry 5 people in if need be.

I think that's pretty cool but why? to save weight?
