Why?
Why in the world would you take a perfectly good C6 and convert the front with a C7 conversion? Maybe I am old school but I bought a C6 if I wanted and could afford it I would have bought a C7!! Just saying! My 08 Indy 500 Replica will not see the track, will remain as stock as possible and be garage kept!! It will be driven more than the previous owner (8 yrs and only 1500 miles)! But I am just a rookie Corvette owner of only 10 days!!

Because the C7 frontend is gorgeous. Why not. 
Now if someone did a C7 rearend conversion, then we'd have some problems.

wow the rear end now I would go with that!
but I agree with the OP, I think the front end of the C7 looks Ricer, actually most of the car looks ricer.

Why? Many reasons, the least of which are to have something unique, different and what very few, if any others have. Not to mention to be creative and because they can; if I had the skills, there are a few mods I'd do to mine and, although some are not to my taste, I admire the skills & quality of work I've seen by many on this site.
