Well honestly......when Chrysler Corp. "sawed off" the fins but left the headlight "cups" (which you can't clean!) that totally (IMO) ruined the look, so to me, THIS DOES look better! Good work!

To my eye, it is less distinctive. The headlight pods were a risky move but it worked. They're not for everybody. But, memorable designs have that tendency to polarize a bit.
