Yeah, I think that could look good even match the turn signals with smaller ones.

I would like to see the revised pic to see what you are talking about...  I would think you would need to mod the headlight buckets to make it look fluid... (at least in my head)

Yeah the one I saw had custom trim around the whole grille and headlight opening and the appropriate bends around the shape of the nose. I have the pic somewhere, I think at my mothers house in her garage I hung it up years ago.
