I have seen many countless modifications to a 911. Some so horrible I had to just walk away before I said something rude. One of our local members has one of the pre-production 911 slantnose Turbo from Porsche. It was an early prototype and does not even have pop up headlights. It is rare and likely very valuable, but ugly as sin in my personal opinion.
I am just an grumpy old white man. I prefer the stock look. My car looks pretty stock except the wheels are fake Fuchs in a 17 inch so I could buy decent tires. The original 15 inch Fuchs are in the attic.
So my personal opinion, yes the backdate is silly. Like the people that strip out the heat exchangers and the entire AC system to save some weight. Unless it is a track car that is nuts in my opinion.
In the end, the owner of the car is just that. The owner. It is just a car and they are free to do whatever they want to it.
