Worry about black headlights later.

Such a front end conversion has been done before. In your case the problem would be to convince your bodyshop to straighten your frame - if needed - as a 00, then treat it as a 02 when installing sheetmetal. That'd be tricky. Especially if insurance is involved.

There're so many venues to obtain the parts, I'll just search.

Then knock yourself out. You're golden.

Still if the frame is messed up and need straightening you'll still need to convince a body shop to do JUST that. Not more, not less. You don't want to pick up your car only to find they put on the OEM front end and bill you for that.
