I second Frank's comment: lose the bug deflector. If it's there to protect the paint, I'd put on some of that plastic film instead.

EDIT: whoops, I see you've already taken it off.
I've made lots of stuff doing foam/fiberglass work..

I use expansion foam, let it setup and shave it as i see fit,
then I lay glass on it..

then you pour gasoline inside and it eats away all the foam..

watch what a drop of gasoline does to styrofoam..
