That'd take a lot of fab work considering what lies beneath the front fascia. I seem to remember someone doing something similar and someone else stating that their state laws prohibited the modification of the factory bumper or something.
I don't mind that look, but when I first saw the pic I thought it was an old Firebird or Trans Am, lol.

Looks similar to the Chev Monza from the 70's (I had one). http://h-body.org/index.html The Monza was one of GMs first cars with the "new" rectangular headlights. The styling was later "recycled" to the 80's 3rd Gen Camaros.

The cardboard is a mockup to give me an idea on how it ill look. The next step I'm doing is remaking the pieces in Massonitte, to be used as a form for a fiberglass piece. I will also mold/vacuum form a polycarb/lexan cover for them. So far it has been a challenge and there are still a few items to work out. I'm also stuck because I need the new front fascia and the deal I had worked out fell thru.
