Rear body mount on front as well? What does this offer vs standard?

Edit: NM just need to read the comments "Notice the Ryan Maker style front body mount as well for better steering and more consistency"

The carbon mustache mount on the front seems to make the car turn a little better in the sweeper with an all around more consistent steering feel/corner speed. The 2 short posts in the front are there to support the hood of the body a little more as Marcos has said. If the car flips, these two posts could help the hood from getting pushed or dented inward.

Who makes those inner upper ball cups and ball studs? Might try that front body mount style soon. Pretty cool.
