it's worth a try, but remember aero is a complex matter, what works in one area may do the opposite in another area.

A common front wheel well wayout on low drag cars seems to be a mild traditional flare out in front of the wheel, and an indent behind the wheel. it would seen that you don't want to obstruct air from getting out of the wheelwell, but some obstruction in front of the wheel is good. so perhaps you may want to experiment with leavint the rear leg of the upide down U-shape off so that the air could exit there.

just an idea
