Frank, How tight of a radius do you think could be formed without buckling? Just a simple cylinder or cone, no compound curves.

Tire deflector rev 1 (in cardboard) was pyramid shaped - easy to do with sheet material. But I didn't like pushing air down; wanna push it to the sides. Rev 2 (in my mind) was wedge shaped. Not ideal for the leading edge. Now you've got me wondering how much better I can do...
