Might make a new one down the line from a flat piece of something. Would be nice if I could figure out how to make something curved to create the smoothest possible transition between bonnet and windscreen.. maybe foam and glass
I performed a complete wiper and cowl delete for Spindletop at Bonneville, and at 98.5-mph, it made zero difference.
A cowl delete plus Dodge Viper windshield reduced the drag of Spirit by Cd 0.005.
