I think all the people saying how shit it looks should post pics of their own cars, I feel the irony will be strong

Its built for a purpose at the end of the day. If it looks shit and you cant explain why dont comment. Lol most drag cars look worse than that to be fair, and as already said some people havent got the budget of others. I dont think it looks too bad, yeah the bumpers not your normal type of bumper but its different and individual.

Point behind the bumper is,
Stand in a swimming pool with a bucket, which way is it easier to push the bucket along? Top/open end first? Or bottom?
That's how your engine bay acts with all the opening at the front bumper/grill etc,
That bumper cuts it down,
If you look at more of the top fwd boosted drag lot they use ice boxes or charge coolers so they don't need an intercooler sticking out for this reason.

proper ducting would allow the air flow to be redirected, that big flat slab up front will just act to increase the front surface area and in turn increase drag quite a bit. even a smoothed front bumper would have been a better choice

Just differences of taste really. I guess its because it seems to be the new 'in' thing and i'm a miserable old bastard tbh
