buy a cheap mouth guard preferably a thick one, heat it up in boiling water till its almost fully melted, get it out and let it cool down for about 30 seconds and then mold it onto the nose. works a treat for me, although it looks a little funny but still workes great nun the less

make sure you mold it around the lip so it fits aswell.

Ask Col in the home grown section - custom nose guards :) I suggest the aluminium one if you do get them - they're not as strong as steel but they are soooo light :)

bomb squad have a "skeleton key" nose guard to fit random boards. Its built for drop through boards though so i wouldn't be to sure. I've heard of using layers of electrical tape to cover the nose and tail but don't cover the top of the board or manuals could get sketchy. My apex 37 is delamed and I've cracked the nose, so if you want it to last, I'd deffinately try out something. The electrical tape would probably be more stealthy then the mouth guard but id guess the mouth guard would be stronger. Another way to make a nose guard is to get a stick of glue (as in the ones you put in a hot glue gun) cut it in half down the middle so its a half cylinder, warm up the flat side so it gets squishy and then stick it to the nose. repeat for the tail since you have two pieces. Thats the only idea's I've seen done but the mouth guard sounds like a good idea. The choice is yours lol

 

oh ditch the janky trucks as well, get some paris/randalls/bears, no wonder you've been running into gutters. I personally run paris's. Much more stable and a much better feel.
