06 Tailgate duck wing, Yay or Nay?

[sinus19]

I got a hold of an 06 tail gate edge cover and thought about using it as a "Duck Tail" spoiler or wing or wat ever you wanna call it but at a different angle.. wat you guys think?

Definitely not.....

Read an article by GM that said after extensive wind tunnel tests that the following, in order, were the most efficient for gas mileage and lowest wind drag.
1. cover---like comes on some of our trucks.
2. open but WITH tail gate up.
3. no tail gate.

It stated that the tailgate up created an air bubble that made the wind flow over the cab, across the bubble and over the tail gate. Without the tailgate the bubble was removed and the wind came over the cab and circled back against the rear of the cab and caused a huge drag. Ergo, the tailgate down or the mesh tailgate that lets the air flow thru are a no no for better air drag.

Therefore I believe that your little piece on the top of the tailgate is useless----plus not attractive----at least to me. But I may be totally wrong, just can't see the value. May even be disruptive to the proper air flow.

The farther back you get the better it looks.

You have it on there totally wrong, besides it looking like a pile of vomit that was shit on by a dog that ate spoiled meat I love it....Keep in mind you did ask...

 

[mopar-or-no-car]

This was how it was supposed to be mounted...Which is equally hideous...

 

[sinus19]

haha weeeelp so much for that idea.. I just wanted something like Badsnake's

 

[mopar-or-no-car]

I kinda like this one...

 

[sinus19]

I kinda like this one...

Yea something like that... but not as big

 

[6speedquadcab]

I kinda like this one...

This is equally as bad with a brake light. But if you must... Then this would be better. At least it's paintable and functional.

 

[SRT-10 Ralph]

Looks Cheap

 

[06SRT10]

[NukeGM/Ford]
