I wonder if there would be an advantage to breaking up the nodes or mass flow there. Something like a series of ripples of more than one plane or a hump like the Alpine below.

Doug, I for one didn't recognize the new Vette nose, because I simply haven't seen it before. I just found an article on-line dated a year ago, and all the pictures said they were artist renderings (looked like photos to me). I'd be interested in hearing the story describing how you came about such an item.

Maybe I did see this car in a magazine at the barber shop a while ago. I seem to recall the rear but not the front for some reason.
