Having seen boattail after boattail, underpans, and all the rest, one question in my head that applies to alot of potential future aeromods is... is there some ideal front shape? How much contribution to total aero does the front end make assuming you've done everything possible to slick down the rest as much as possible?

For instance, would a flat nose cabover semi have any advantage or disadvantage vs a long nosed conventional semi. Would one type of pickup (like the new Fords which are pretty slick for coefficient of drag last I checked) have a big advantage over another type of pickup (like late 90's Dodge Rams which are as horrible as they come) assuming both have boattails, underpans, removing all the barbs you can that cause drag, closing off part of the grill, etc etc.
