I would think the last bow right above the window back to the tailight you have would be perfect by my naked eye.

I'd say the second bow, the one at the back edge of the side windows.

The O.P. hasn't posted on this site since last June, but in case he's lurking: With a second header in hand it's a perfect opportunity for a Carson-style lift off padded top that replaces the top and deck lid. Electrical conduit frame with curved bows, chicken wire and then padding under the top material.

Oh I like the conduit idea, can weld/tack it in place. Can also make for a teardrop shape like a rear of a vette.
This almost has me wanting to go out and get the top from a Metro CONVERT to make a Areo mod for my XFI MPG car I am looking into. I want to make a low CD car out of a spare XFI car I picked up. I have a goal of 75 MPG.
