It will look good. I have seen a few pictures posted.

It will look fine. Not quite as good as a complete conversion, but just fine IMO.

Example with aftermarket hood.

I have had it both ways. I did the rear conversion a year before I did the front. (Although I did also have an aftermarket front bumper as well.

Guess I'm a minority opinion here, but to me, 1/2 a wide body leaves the car looking off balance. I'm definitely not a fan.

That said, you should realize that only other 'vette owners will even notice it. The general public doesn't even see the difference between a base car, and a Grand Sport.

So do what pleases you!
