2 Humps are called what?

Sunny Ragtop · 03-03-2006, 09:39 AM

What are the two humps behind the headrest, on the trunk lid, called? They're what got my attention at the AutoShow...sorta BatMobile looking. When asked what a Sky lookes like...well it's a Miata or S2000, more muscular, with 2 humps on the back. Ha!

As a writer -- let me give it a shot....
Integrated headrest cowling? (Cowling -- kind of Batmanish?!?!)
Integrated headrest buttress? (I hate that one)

Two humps just has no romance.

Someone described the back deck as a "Turtle Back" in a post some time ago. Actually the post called it "Turtle decks". I just checked the post.

Maybe not, but it's better than a one night stand.

So is Turtle Deck the proper term for the trunk deck?

I can tell you from old Corvettes, the turle back or top is what the removable hardtop is called. Reason being, it looks like a turtle was put on top of the car when it is there. Round and bulbous. On my '71 it is just a hard top, as they are much more sleek and streamlined.

No, brentil is correct. They are called rear aero fairings.
