This belief in a 'template' (any template) as some kind of help in designed and modifying cars is just very strange. If car aerodynamics were as easy as following a template - any template - then aerodynamic textbooks would be two pages long!

But don't take my word for it. Go and read any mainstream textbook on car aero and see how much space they devote to these 'ideal' shapes - let alone, just one of them!

People here are so lost in the world of templates that they seem to have forgotten reality!

I am sorry you don't have the time to do some testing, because it means your results will almost always be poorer than they could be.

Me? I have this strange belief that in car modification (any car modification), guesswork isn't as good as finding out what actually works.
