Since you ask... Nah! From a distance it looks like something someone might do with a role of masking tape and a can of spray-paint.

Overall a very nice design...nice work! 
I'd love to see how that front bumper would look with the flat black areas, other than the grillwork and splitter, painted body color instead of flat black. I'm betting that would have a neat effect as well. Rear diffuser is a nice alternate design.
About that front nose emblem, though.

It looks good, however not a heck a lot better then the OEM design, at least to my eye.

Would it be possible for you to post a better photo of that front end? It’s hard to see all the features you designed because it’s mostly all black and the best front view is in the shadows.

I like it. What is the cost?

Huge improvement. What are they doing to improve the rear fascia?

It looks very rice to me. It also doesn't look like it provides any more air inlet so we could relocate heat exchangers to improve intercooler cooling. From an aerodynamic standpoint how much does it hurt the front aero numbers? Has the designer tested it in a wind tunnel to find out? If it is solid (Fiberglass/CF) that is a downside as well as it will be subject to more damage.

Definitely has a “stingray” look to it too which is nice to see.
