I think it looks terrible, but if you like the look go for it.

Not a fan of all body painted front and back at all. Just washes out the C8 lines.

Looks like a Tesla front end.

It looks like the helmet off one of those bad 1970’s Martial Arts Super hero’s that fight large lizards created by radiation as they collectively wreaking havoc on a small model of a Japanese city.

I hate it. Needs the contrast to break up the front.

I kinda like it. You can see some creases where the designers may well have anticipated this could be an option. Would like to see it from some other angles.

It looks like that scene in The Matrix where Neo's mouth is sealed shut and he starts to move it around. Not as noticeable on black, but very obvious on white.

You can see the two center vents and design details much better with the painted front end.

Thanks. Some pre-launch renders showed something like this. Not bad…
From a “form follows function” standpoint, this is more “honest” than painting the whole panel black to fool us into thinking it is an intake opening…
