My first thought was to make the bumper sections airfoil-shaped.

Rear-ending a collection of air-foil shaped structures, into the pointy ends, is probably a good reason to not ever do this.



Is it me, or do the "air lines" not follow the curve of the truck? It looks like it actually tapers too much.
