Silverado aerocap build thread

[ChazInMT]

I was planning of doing something like this to the back of my pickup, then I woke up.

Would look rather nightmareish on a pickup now that you mention it.

That would make a neat pinewood racer...

[KamperBob]

I found it amusing...

Fubeca: added the aero cap build thread to the home page. Thanks for documenting the build and testing well.

Any further impressions now that you've had it on for a while?

I've had little time to do much driving and the weather has been awful for any testing. This week we are warming up to the 30s so I might get some more data.

This morning driving to the bus about 30 miles on the freeway I got 19.3 MPG at normal freeway speeds (btw 60 and 70).

I might be able to do some higher speed testing this weekend at a higher ambient temperature. Maybe I'll even take some better photos

Hmmmmm i thought this would make a much bigger difference on here

I wonder if this could be done with carbon fiber? How to Wrap Parts with Carbon Fiber

Fubeca:

Don't sweat the weather. It's always best to drive a new mod around for a while and get comfortable with it before testing.
