actually to be more accurate this is what the article said...

"Increasing the angle of a car's hood by propping it at the rear isn't always beneficial in and of itself, but decreasing the angle at which it meets the windshield, while covering the wipers, helps cut drag."

anyway it's a pretty interesting article full of mods to decrease drag. so i'm sure doing this one mod alone won't do much but that's kinda the way it goes with all modifications to some degree.
