A fairing includes a prow portion having a pointed leading end adjacent an undercarriage and an aft trailing end. The trailing end extends across the undercarriage and vertically spans the space from the height of the undercarriage to the ride height of a vehicle. A support under the fairing resiliently maintains the prow portion in the shape of a boat hull prow, The fairing may present a curved boat hull shaped transition from the leading end to the trailing end, it may have chine spanning the prow portion from the leading end along a midpoint, or may be made of multiple panels and chines. The prow portion has vertical sides toward the trailing end, which terminate in vertical edges near the vehicle's tires. The fairing may include enlarged areas to increase aerodynamics near the tires, and may include scoops and a spoiler to help laminate turbulent air.
