Aero, Thanks for your comments.

A few things. The 4 dimensional model is interesting. Yes, I have some stagnation area behind the front wheels, and yes I'm curious to find out what cut outs do.

If you look at the windshield, it is actually well behind the front fenders. I expect high energy air to flow off the hood, spill around the cockpit, and add adequate energy for the back of the car.

I'm pretty confident of that.

i'm so confident I put the goofy air scoops on the back to make ti look cool, but now that the car is outside, I hate the goofy air scoops at the back, and they are getting changed or removed.

as for covering the wheels, am I better to cover the wheels and close behind the fenders, or am I better off to leave the wheel wells open, open behind the wheels, and let air flow in the wheel wells and out the huge openings behind the fenders - basically make the back of the "fender" look like a fender, but not at all functional?
