I think the Aero Civic uses those curves because of the restrictions of building with coroplast. It's very difficult to get complex curvature (bending two ways at once) with the materials we aeromodders typically use. You could surely make a Schlor-esque nose from fiberglass or even vacuum molding, but if it doesn't work that would be a lot of wasted effort.

In short, do whatever Phil did
