I like it! 

But shouldn't they be four doors like the new chargers? :stirpot:

:iagree:  It degrades both the new Challenger and the original Daytona.  That nose job looks terrible.  Just my opinion, but to each his own.  Everyone is free to do what they want with their own cars.  :dunno:
I agree as well.  It takes away the aggressive chararcter of the Challenger.

Isn't there rumor that the Challenger is supposed to hit NASCAR?  This would be a perfect way to jump in, IMO....

It does look a little weird, it may degrade the Challenger as JS29NOB said, but did a lot of people say that back in 1969 with the original Daytona Charger?  :clueless:  :stirpot:

Love it! As a bodyman, I can sure like that nose, that is very nice work.

I think it's rather impressive, that thing will take a lot of hours. I also think it looks better than the Mr Norms cars, and definitely the Daytona trucks. It's a truck.

No doubt.  Is that a wing or 1/2 of an olympic parallel bar?  It's so high.  If it was on a honda, we'd all be bashing it.

Trash all the queer scoops and wing and it might be OK.

I agree with Steve. Its not as bad as I thought when I saw the under construction pics. Lose the gay chrome smiley face, funky wheels and the stupid glue on scoops and I kinda dig it. I even think the wing would look kinda cool without all the gaudy crap on it. I like the way it forms up front.
