Just did some preliminary tuft testing by myself. The rear window flow IS attached. The flow around the A pillar IS attached. It appears the flow over the little fairing I put on the antenna mount IS attached.

What is decidedly NOT attached is the flow behind the headlights, obviously. I didn't imagine it would be so turbulent so far back, though. It's unattached over half the length of the hood, and I didn't put tufts back far enough to see where it reattaches.

More extensive test to come when I can find a camera car to film me.
