The front of modern cars all have fully attached flow. There's lower hanging fruit to be picked elsewhere before you start worrying about how far back from the tip of the nose you can maintain a laminar boundary layer by reshaping everything to be fully smooth & rounded.

Question: does the driver's wiper always sit so high up the glass? Is there a void behind the trailing edge of the hood that it can sit in? (I'm not familiar with that detail on the Focus).
