Freebeard, as I recall, Aerohead did not notice an improvement. It really seems like it would obstruct his vision, but that would entirely depend on his height. Driving my Subaru, I have thought that I could do the same thing, but I am 6'2".
The remit was "...but has anyone in here made a deflector or cowl of some kind to help with the high pressure area at the base of the windshield?". Thanks for the supporting detail. The point I didn't make would be that the convex curve starts at the front of the hood, unlike little ducktails just ahead of the wipers.

I really want to know who made hoods that did not fit!
At 1/25th scale tolerances can be a problem. It's all in the molds; they have to be made to a higher level of precision than the finished product. Precision is the target that accuracy aims at.
