Can't hurt- looks like you've hit all the buttons we intuitively think are right. Might make for a more gradual pressure rise but then doesn't the bubble at the base of most windshields do that automatically? Would it make crosswind flow across the hood and off the leeward fender better? On the other hand I suspect flow towards the rear would be basically unaffected thus the wake zone- biggest source of drag- unaffected as well.
