I'd start filling the gaps between the fenders and bumper as well as making an air dam down from the bumper to guide the air around the sides instead of underneath. If you haven't installed smooth wheel covers (coroplast or pizza pans etc) they would also be a good idea.
Honestly all Wranglers are aero messes so you'll basically need to fabricate some body surfaces to make it work well. (such as the gap fillers and air dam) This doesn't mean it's not a good idea; it will just take more work to get it to perform! 
Actually, if you're down for it, building a boat tail shouldn't be too hard, given all the mounting points built into a Jeep. Could you find an extra hardtop to cut the back out of in order to anchor a boat tail? You could see a good 20% highway fuel economy increase from a boat tail. |
with the mirror's forward some of the reflection is blocked/other people have to feel safe driving it; already have one pizza pan and some industrial velcro, they might make it on don't know yet. Was already contemplating how to take care of the gap between the bumper and fender; jeep actually made pieces for that spot for european markets for both cost over 100, thinking something made of coroplast would work better.
if i got a hold of another hardtop, i'd try to section it down at the back; there's about half an inch or so from the roll bars(glass would be annoying to get made). Then maybe try a boat tail
