You're probably placing it where it will do the least harm.
It's a full-separation structure,but the cars nose will be training behind its wake.Since the area around it is in the best pressure gradient on the car,the separation will be limited to only very close to the unit.
Walter Korff and Sighard Hoerner published Cds for shapes like this,but I don't have that with me here.
