I think you may be right that we are ignoring the front too much, but it is natural that folks would go for the low hanging fruit first.
Like you, I've also been thinking about the front on my Gen1 Insight. I think the bumper could be replaced with a longer, better unit with a lower stagnation point and bottom feeding radiator intake. That coupled with a new hood allowing top exit of engine compartment air would be a slight improvement over the current setup, according to Hucho. Cabin air would have to come from some other location. But what I just outlined is as much work, or more, than making a good boat tail. See what I mean about the low hanging fruit?
