Wiper area cover?

Ive been thinking of doing something like this for my Celeb, but Ive been wondering if would do harm or good and if anyone else has tried it before making one.

Basically it would be a smooth shell that would go over the front, top, and sides of the wipers. It would be open on the windshield side just enough to let the wipers in and out. It would replace the existing wiper cowl plate, bolting in using the same holes. I like to try to avoid permanent mods.

I wonder if it would do better, keeping the air off the wipers and arms. Or if it would do worse, creating a vacuum pocket and therefore turbulence.

Any thoughts?
