In profile, the Carrera GT and Boxster noses both have upper edges with a ~4-6" radius curve, the Cayman somewhat less.
Such shapes should not be too difficult to duplicate. Well-rounded and with gentle curvature, presumably they are efficient aerodynamic shapes.

Otto,if you could do a movable front airdam like Volvo had for awhile and Ford did with Probe-IV you'd have best of both worlds.
She wouldn't get knocked off in town( Corvette,New Beetle,Camaro/Firebird,Chevy HHR,etc.. ) and then, when safely out of town,she drops to give lower drag where it really matters.
The T-100 is getting one of these.It's never had a proper nose either.And it's got to move,as with the racing tires and lowered ground clearance now,she has some real clearance issues!
