so are you saying that i might wanna consider adding a rounded bumper to the leading edges instead of a "bubble" ?
i bet i could fab up something temporary to represent that for testing from dense foam pipe insulation or something. i'd have to figure out the radius but if that gave even modest improvements that'd be real easy to make a solid modification and i think just about anything you make it out of would be pretty light an inexpensive.

For commercial vehicles, and wind-averaged flow, the 'bulbous' nose has been found superior to all other shapes in subsonic flow.
The greater the radius ( up to, and including that of a semicircle ) the smaller the pressure spikes, and better turbulent boundary layer health when it comes to aft-body mods. Another insurance policy.
