It's not just you. I saw this video on FB earlier and thought the exact same thing.

Thats the first thing I noticed. It almost blocks the high beams. Did anyone notice the radar antennas on the roof front and rear of lightbar?

Agreed push bumper not the right choice for the car. they have one for it also not enough lights to the front and really nothing to the side.

Could fit a 600 series lighthead on the side of that push bumper. Ive seen departments mount antennas externally before, almost all in CT do it, to reduce radar frequency on the officer.

Nice, simple graphics package, and I appreciate them incorporating some chevrons in the rear design (I think more LE agencies should use them; there's a reason why NFPA & agencies like Florida Highway Patrol support their use).
I like how they didn't waste their limited lighting budget on LAWs (I prefer the rear deck light over LAWs, esp when a basic TLF can be used), but the newer caprices are so damn long that I think they should always have intersection lights on the side of the PB. Something mounted above/behind the rear wheel area would be nice too, but intersection lights at the very front are a must

One almost needs light heads on the side of that push bumper, simply because it's half a car length long on it's own.
It would benefit from some forward lights on the push bumper as well. Otherwise, a very clean set up. The rear is very well done!
But that push bumper, what are they worried about hitting? Bigfoot?

That is a WONDERFULLY equipped vehicle. yes the front push bumper is too big, but I disagree with people saying it needs grill lights. Between the HLF and the overhead lightbar and with how down low the Caprice sits, you already have awesome coverage to the front and are just wasting money throwing extra lights on there. And I don't know about the rest of you but to me that light bar provides plenty of side emergency lighting. You people just like to see more little twinkle lights that make the thing look stupid and serve no useful purpose.

The car is from southwest Ohio, we don't even have big deer here...
