It doesn't matter if you like it or not, if they comply with the rules, it is not your position to judge.
I'm not talking about being within the rules, I'm talking about stretching them to the breaking point. Mounting a 10 pound steel plate to a bumper that has no real practical reason is violating the spirit of the rules.

And as far as your second point, in fact, is is the inspectors job to judge if a team is complying with the rules.
