    DLM nose pieces

    Are waaay too wide, with flares. Putting too much aero on the cars. Need to make them like they were in early to mid 2000's

      Ditto that, they are too wide, look back at the nose pieces of the mid to late 90's, that was correct in my view.

              Take them back to the 75 Camero or Nova's, with curved roofs.

                It seems to me from the outside looking in that some guys are more radical then others, but overall the racing has been good across the board more times then not fellas. An aint that what matters most????

                  The cars from the early to mid 2000s (and anytime at all before that) were extremely ugly in my opinion. The current cars are some of the baddest looking rides on the planet -- it grabs peoples attention. I can't imagine going back to the old style bodies.

                    They look like cow catchers on old steam locomotives. Make them look like cars they claim to be.

                      I totally agree.
                      A Super Late Model should be unique. I don't care what the nose emblem is. Impala-Grand Prix-Corvette-he11, I've even seen Cadillac emblems on em. In what way does a current late model resemble any car? Not in the least bit.
                      The Late Model of today is as sexy as he11. I wouldn't change anything.

                          I was being sarcastic with the 75 body. Truth is that horse left the barn a long time ago. we are never going back. They also don't have to run a engine from the car they claim to be. It is what it is.

                            Scrapping the current nose pieces would require every single team in the sport to go out and buy new noses and spares. It would cost just much money as it would supposedly save.

                              Run-away rules, letting the nose guy dictate what the noses look like. They let the rules go lax on the noses and bugger up the rear suspension rules. How marvelous?! The cow may have got out, but they've been reigned in before, hence going from "wedge" to "small bodies". Nostalgia swoons for the wedge, but in truth, just like today, all that down-force just droive up the motor costs. I hate the way the cars look these days, running around all FDAU. In the pits or on the grid they look like they have a fat lip on one side, just bollocks. Down-force will kill the racing, we need a rollback on the rules, IMHO and lower the corner speeds. Should've stopped calling them late models 17 years ago, maybe Super Po-Go Sticks.
