Thought you might say that, I am still evaluating it,
If I can keep it simple & cheap it may have some aero benefit along with the utility aspect.
But the main problem I see, outside of imperfect aero is by angling up it already draws attention and if it looks NQR then it will be a red flag for the boys in blue.
A custom built unit, done well, will just look like a cute teardrop camper at first glance, so may need to think about planning in some flush mount windows/access hatches to complete the image.
