Default SSM conversion?

We've all seen the pictures long ago, of Honda's gorgeous concept car, the SSM, which eventually became the S2000. When this car became the S, the front end was the biggest cosmetic change, as the headlights moved up to their current (read, legal) placement and the overall look became less aggressive.

The question: has anyone converted to something like the concept car, in particular with the lower headlight clusters? If yes, how? If no, what would be involved in getting such a front end made?

I still think the S is a beautiful car, but if there were a way to duplicate the look of the SSM, oh my...

I haven't see any. The thing I liked better about the SSM was the roll hoops and interior.

I like the production lights better. The wheels are nice, though.

No, just an air outlet. The SSM had dual rear exhaust.

Hmm, I'm surprised y'all prefer the production lights, but it's a personal preference thing, obviously.

I still like the concept version, and would pay to have someone put one together like that if it were at all feasible. But if no one's ever done it, I'm guessing it's not. Oh, well.
