I'm thinking about the front edges of the trailer being sharp. If I took a 6" pvc pipe and cut about 90deg out of it and attached to each leading edge, would that help? It would actually stick out a bit from the edge, but I'm thinking it would actually help air around the corners. Any input?

I'm still working on an idea for the rear that helps with aero, but isn't too difficult to work around.
