Bobby,
Yes, the grip will look funny. It'll have a belly in the grip. I had a straight grip stocked AYA that had a 2 7/8" ish drop that I had a smith bend up to about 2 1/2". It looked a little funny if you looked at the side profile. I often thought about reshaping the bottom line and re-inletting the guard tang. But I sold it after I out grew it.
