I had a thought earlier today about a "slip-on" hood modification. It wouldn't be attached to the car except to slide onto and under the edges of the existing stock hood. The idea would be to create a raised surface for airflow that would smooth the transition from hood to windshield, ideally reducing the high pressure zone at the center of the base of the windshield.

Further thoughts:

1) The "double hood" idea would not do anything for air flow itself in the engine bay. The ONLY reason to consider this would be to keep the stock hood in place so that the addition would not have to be bolted on at all.

2) The primary goal would be to:
Minimize the high pressure area at the base of the center of the hood as much as possible while maintaining a reasonable view out of the front of the car

Other things to consider with the use of vents in strategic locations:
b) improve air flow through the radiator

c) improve air flow through the engine bay and prevent air from going underneath the car
