Hi Phantom
Yes I thought about it but I looked at the material at hand and did what I did. The lower fairing being behind the front makes a rough rounded shape. I plan on making a carbon rounded front end with the center being about bumper level. Incorporating the headlights is a challenge I look at a lot of other vehicles with a similar shape to what I am wanting. I am beginning to think that sharp radiused edges at the front of a vehicle are no good for my vw. Downforce is not economy. Try making one on your vehicle with photos and post your results after 1500 miles.
