    We all see some interesting choices out there in auto/truck accessories, builds, wheels, etc. so I thought I would start a central thread so everyone can post the interesting, crazy or usual things people do to or with their vehicles.

    Have fun and I saw this today so here we go!

    I saw this the other day. I assume it had some kind of roof damage or something. Can't think of any other reason to make a convertible minivan.

    A local guy has this same setup on a new raptor and I have to say it looks a little bit badass. Not very functional though

    Kinda fastback. I'm not into louvers.

    But....
    Paint it black, put a spare tire on the back, light bar and some rotopacks on the sides.
    They might have something.

    I've actually thought about this! Why? Not because the Smart car is cool or a good platform, but just to be rediculous and poke the greenies in the eye!

    Maybe they are for the tesla truck wannabe crowd ? When the new lightning comes out they can be like it's almost a tesla..... Lol except I doubt the windshield comes flying out of the Ford while driving

    Those caps have been out longer than the Cybertruck design, the purpose of the design is discussed over at Ecomodders.

    That’s actually looks pretty cool. Gives a little more height than a regular Tonneau cover. I wonder how the aero is improved. I think this is much better purpose than the hard “trunk” type of Tonneau covers, not sure the point of those.

    Yes. I think they look at fuel savings strategy via multiple mods collectively. Somewhere on their site there there is ranking of mods; its car oriented so some may not apply to trucks.
