"aesthetically" - that is the point - only a few are left who care - new cars are 5 to 8 years old and people will need to learn what is legal with the new cars - many are not perfectly correct.
It will come as no surprise - I am sure -
I have made the exact configuration change on our 1970 Camaro and the weight saving is less than 10lbs - the attachment brackets (most of the weight) are the same - if you go to the trouble of replacing the "hard nose" - not worth the cost of old collector car parts. You have to buy lower front valances and cut holes next to headlight. No one ever complained - they worried about the radiator not being stock number of rows - LMFAO. I even bought the correct fog lights but never needed them.
