the front isn't gonna be easy either, my brain starts overheating as soon as i try to figure how on earth im gonna cover such a complex thing.
I would just ignore the differential. It should be pretty aerodynamic since it's rounded, and the axletubes aren't that big.

But you could direct air under the axle, or to the sides with a V shaped thing, like the front of a boat. A completely flat bottom isn't gonna happen.
