Add a nose similar to the one I installed on my car. In addition to lowering the stagnation point for reduced drag, it also gives you space to install a driver adjustible grill block, the rounded shape directs deer up and over the top of the car, greatly reducing the amount of damage incurred in a vehicle-deer collision, and the nose also provides some additional crush space in the event of a collision with something heavier than a deer. It doesn't look like it would be that difficult to install a rounded nose over the existing bumper.
