I think it is safe to say, that they were just working with what they had, the car looks like it weighs 10,000lbs though lol.

That front end is Fugly and what's with the giant gap at the front of the hood?

The pontiac converts are hit or miss too. Out of all the ones that have come out there's only been 1 design I would even consider buying. If it cost the SAME as a normal Camaro.

Ok, they need to make up their minds. Is it a Dayton or a 'Cuda. The Dayton's had the wing and nose cone. The shaker hood scoop belongs on the 'Cuda. I don't ever remember seeing both options on one vehicle.

I think it's optional what you add to it, the basic kit comes with the nose and wing, then you decide on Extras to get the look you want. The actual super bird never had a shaker scoop.
I think you can also order the nose or wing separately, in case that's all you want to add.

Ugly if you ask me from what i understand they are trying to make the challengers look like other cars or something along those lines?

I have a soft spot in my heart for the Superbird but not in my stomach.

Did they mis-align the nose decals too, like all the original Superbirds?

Yep, seen it before and it is butt ugly. This design should stay on the Superbirds and Daytona's.

There should not be any modern interpretation of this design.

That's a great homage to a really ugly classic car. That wing was ricey before Honda made it uncool.
