The front fender tops appear to me to slope too much and result in disturbed flow quite a way back. The rear appears to me to taper in too quickly in plan view.

I'm not convinced ducting is ever the best solution because ducts add surface area and thus surface drag vs a correct form.

I agree that sub .30 seems unlikely.
