I have another idea-- cover the headlamp buckets with clear plastic. I realized while half asleep in bed, that this could have a HUGE effect, because not only would the flow be much smoother, but it would then stay attached as it hits the radiused corners of the front end.

I've found that the unpainted black buckets go for about $20 on eBay, so I'll probably try this at some point. Don't want to drill into my color matched painted stock ones.

Ordered a front skid too... Found them for only $52+$9 shipping
