Progress on ye olde maxima of yore

Went to pull a part and started nabbin parts for the 86 max. I got a hood, panel and the strut bolts I needed. Since it has the front end damage and a lot of the trim around the headlights/bumper are missing/destroyed I was thinking of doing custom headlights. I really like the euro look on the older e30 bmw's so I took some ebay pics and did a mockup in photoshop of what I want to do. What do you think?

It was just a thought. I kinda agree tho the side markers kill the look.
