Interested in coast-down testing on that. Theoretically a bulbous front is better for aero and you'd want to direct as little air under the car as you can.

How frustrating, I'm very sorry. I deeply dislike people who have to act childish when they see something unique like your car.

That sucks! The worst thing anyone has done to my cars is leave a funny note on them.

Can you still do the A-B-A testing ?
And of course remember to block off the grille to equal what the nose spike blocks .

What's going on at the rear of the car ? Perhaps you can reuse the coroplast on the back end, since this is where the majority of your drag is coming from.

That looks better than the platypus-face  Probably lower drag, also. |

Better looking : Yes . But lower drag? You say that a grill block is more aerodynamic than a nose?
