Ah that makes sense. One of my headlamps is destroyed so it's an awkward, large cavity at the front of the car. Usually there isn't much in the way of crosswinds as in the Bay Area we have a lot of "sealed off" freeways (walls on either side), and there are tons of buildings and not much wind in the first place, but when I hit the bridges across the Bay, where there are significant sidewinds, that one small change seems to have ruined my crosswind stability as I find myself fighting crosswinds with steering input a lot more. Need to replace the lamp...

So the radiused trailing edge of the fender is generally a good idea, and otherwise you'd want the fender to be flush, not flared?
