Will a large area of doped fabric withstand 40 mph headwinds? (Yes, I realize airplanes go faster than that! But not presenting the same surface area to the wind as the front of a C-car.)

No - not ignoring you, but I've had my Citicar for two years now, and the body is in about the same condition as when I bought it. Runs fine, but won't win any beauty contests... My art is more towards the mechanical / electrical, and not the exterior. If someone wants to try their hand at aeromodding the Comutacar, this would be a prime candidate! I plan on letting the local high school use this car to learn about basic EV operation and body repair next school year. Maybe they'll decide to aeromod it as well...
You're right - 40 MPH is about tops for a C-Car! Most folks that have gone faster in one usually tell the tale with a faraway glazed look...
