Based on this statement, I now believe that the template application from the top view would fall somewhere in between my full width application and the base line in the center & mirrored application.

Bigger Version to Ponder

The baseline center thing just felt way too fast, but my using the full width of the car didn't seem to make sense either in that it seemed long. I think using the car height and applying it to the sides makes sense because the air will be closing in at the same relative speed thus reducing the chance of a pressure differential which would cause the air to spin.
