True generally. But I added a comment yesterday you might have missed (sorry about my editing habits):

Edit: I took off my v1 "bullnose" this morning. I'm certain I can hear a lot more turbulence against the windshield and hood without it, with a sudden onset around 55 mph. Although my bullnose didn't work properly, probably due to the open sides, I'm even more convinced that my aero eye is correct; the stock grill-to-hood angle / radius on this car is a disaster. A grill block by itself would not fix the problem.

To my eye there is a similar problem on bottom - below the bumper - although I wouldn't expect to be able to hear the turbulence as clearly.
The timing belt gets first dibs on my time, but I'm optimistic about finishing that and having time left over to fabricate my target mod.
