And keeping the width,but shrinking the height gets it more like an airfoil section.
Formula-1 has some cars doing this.And the view through them seems appropriate for street cars.
The thing is to add the camera. If I'm lucky (not lazy), I'll try to make it with glass fiber, but the mount arm needs to be different as it comes from the door, not on the little triangle ahead of the window
