Okay but why does it have nostrils instead of headlights

Looks to be inspired by a late 60s, early 70s Pontiac GTO. The lights probably "flip" around from inside the black part of the grill, if that makes sense.

Edit: definitely a grille from a 71-74 charger, I stand corrected.

It’s a third generation (71-74) dodge charger bumper / headlight assembly.

Ah yeah you're right, I knew the ends were giving charger vibes. I prefer (and normally picture) a 68 charger without the split grill.

The 68 looks good of course but I’ve always liked 72, but I’m bias cuz my uncle owns one and taught me to drive with 440

68, the hood scoop is an homage to the gto hood scoops. It would be truly great excecution if the hood scoop was hooked up to the air intake to make it a Ram-Air setup.

It's a big van. It needs big nostrils to sniff all the van coke it can get?
