I think the front would be the least influential of all the surfaces of the box but nonetheless either have it extend the curve and slope of the windshield, or heck make it square but have generous radii on the side and top edges. Let the back of the box follow the template down to a point.
The front end would be more important than if it was a free flying object, because of the higher speed airflow coming off the windshield and hood
