Boat tail nose as well. But, if you can get the topper and side spats worked out, it probably won't be so much of a problem. The idea is to keep the flow as straight as possible, so it's not "ramming" into things. If you can divert the flow so that it can make a basically straight path between the truck and the trailer, that's all you really need.

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.
