Your Civic Styrofoam nose looks sweet! If you had posted that before Sat I would probably do it that way, at least on the Corolla if not both my cars. Your design is almost an exact match to my ideal mental aero form.
I've already got a piece of PETG cut and half bolted on the Corolla's bumper, and it doesn't seem like a good idea to jump ships now. I am going to try some hand thermal forming with it and see how close I can get to that shape, but it's probably not going to be as steep of a forward angle.
I found your thread on the pickup conversion, that is also a lot of fun. Before I checked your sig I felt certain you must live in CA. An open form like that would not be fun in a UT winter.
EDIT: I meant to ask, what is the clearance of your Styrofoam nose-piece? does it extend below the stock bumper level?
