Your comments of dimple tape would be expected for sorts when applied to the front of a vehicle where you have higher velocities and forced flow characteristics. But as I stated, they have very minimal effects of "controlling" airflows to provide an aerodynamic advantage. You cited an airflow advantage but I can say without hesitation that without plastering the whole front of the vehicle with them your aerodynamic gain will be next to nothing because they where designed for laminar flow and the flow outside the boundary layer, a glider wing is perfect example. Glider wings depend on the boundary layer to achieve the tremendous lift that their aspect ratio provides and the Z tape provides the insurance for the critical lift areas they need.
