Dont the 90s already have 1 piece headlights. Im not sure how creative you are, but there may be a way to get one on there. Ive seen escalade front ends on nissan mini trucks. I know its apples to oranges, but there's some crazy sh*t out there.

I've seen it done, it looks kinda weird because the G3 has a rounded front while the G2 has a flat front. From what I've heard, the headlight aim is all screwed up. Not to mention it takes a lot of work. It looks OK, but it makes the car look like its having some kind of G2/G3 identity crisis.
