If you make a single form and fabricate two sides from it, you could fur out the front to get the taper you need.
For the nose, why reinvent the wheel?
Proline Racks: Yakima SkyBox 16,18 and 21 Roof Boxes
These come in three sizes 36" wide by 15-18" tall (914.4x381-457.2mm). I have one of these that's bigger but shorter I bought cheap used. This style is intended for skis. It would need beefed up attachment points and (being thermoplastic) it would explode in a collision.
While I was looking for an illustration, I ran across this:

Now this is made of polyethylene and it would be like riding in a big crash helmet.

How much of a boat tail can you squeeze into the rules?

Edit: I see your cross-post. You're putting wings on an open wheel car. If you could figure out how to make a panted, cycle-fendered wheel that created the downforce it would apply directly to the tire's contact patch. I don't know what that would look like.

Boat tail. |
-ok, i will redo the nose and make it lower.
-you are suggesting to use an existing form? like the sky roof rack box?
-the boat tail is only limited by total body length: 2300mm but also limited by my pickup truck bed
. maybe the boat tail can be a separate piece, for making the transport easier.
-Adding wings was just a joke, but what you mean by cycled-fenders?
