An interesting episode of Mythbusters reappeared on my feed recently. I’ve loved the show since I was a kid. I am thankful to have had this show before the YouTube years. Now kids these days have unlimited options to pursue their creative desires. I couldn’t help but consider what types of modifications could be made to the Slate to achieve similar effects? Or to what extent custom composite panels could be made to change the appearance of many of the external components.

I was thinking the same thing! The fiero had similar steel frame plastic panels and a lot of body kits were made for it including a Ferrari kit that was sold through Pontiac dealerships (until Ferrari sued them).
The Slate with it's exposed fasteners would be even easier to have a body kits for.
Think when slate refreshs the truck we could just by a body kits to update our current truck.
