Suggestions on aero help for a cargo trailer

I've been looking for a add on aero type nose for a boxy cargo trailer. These things catch a ton of air, creating a huge drag on fuel mileage.

I'm thinking a nose that extended out 2' or so (of course above the truck bed) would have to help fuel mileage. So far I haven't found anything using Google. If unable to find anything in the aftermarket, I may break out the plywood and fiberglass and see what I can put together.

Thoughts?

Thanks, RJR

Here you go. Several links to Aero aids. I have not tried any but they look like they might work.
