Assuming airflow stays attached on the front of the car, frontal design is not a big influence. The focus should be on keeping the airflow attached all the way to the rear end to create the smallest wake possible. Start at the front and make sure you don't have airflow seperation. When you find a place where your developing turbulence you fix it. Continue working towards the back of the car.
