In some embodiments, a system and/or method may include a fairing system for vehicles. The fairing system may include a roofing extender. The roofing extender may be couplable rearward of a roof of a vehicle. In some embodiments, a frontward portion of the roofing extender may be coupled to the roof of the vehicle such that the roofing extender pivots, at the frontward portion, relative to the roof of the vehicle. In some embodiments, a rearward portion of the roofing extender may be coupled to the vehicle with a resilient member which allows the roofing extender to pivot relative to the roof of the vehicle within a specified range as needed before returning to set start point. In some embodiments, the roofing extender functions to adjust airflow over the roof of the vehicle.
