Looks like a nice design. I think your back bottom “new lower line” may be too steep, Aerohead has a graph on this site of changes in drag based on the slope of that line. I would suggest a less aggressive lower line, and truncating the tail a bit shorter, no need for it to come to a point. I like the topper and then the separate tail on a hitch, so the tail would be removable to haul a trailer.
