OK, I can picture that .......

I have high hopes but feel this will disappoint in the end

I can only theorize that other cars I've had which were less aerodynamic created more turbulence at the nose which created a boundary layer to cushion and redirect bugs. The BRZ is like a knife and while it splits the air well, bugs can't change direction as fast as the air does and continue straight into by bumper to become a 100 mph Jackson Pollack. Ewww!

We had options in the 80's!
