Nope. Different style headlights and where it meets fenders. Possibly other issues.

Very nice VR8.. had a question for marsredr100 and Bastage
I'm not so sure about the intake air temp of the petit kit, but wouldn't locating the filter out side of the engine compartment result in cooler temps or some kind of heat shield. Cooler temps might bring in more power?? Just a thought..

For Example:
Yellow - Aluminum piping relocation
Red - Heatshield/Box

Hmmm, now that I see the Autobahn front on red I don't like it as much as on black. Tough to describe, but feels like it's a bit thick and looks heavy. Could be the stock wheels or just the CF hood too. Under car neon huh? Real CF hood is awesome! Fake CF side strakes, not so much.

Your right the hood is authentic Seibon. I want black strakes but they would be the only thing black on the car. I might switch them out when I eventually get black wheels.

seibon is actually a replica company. the reason why they are well known is because they do quality work, unlike most replication companies.

Never new that. Whenever someone says replica I always think of ebay bluelight specials.

Very stock look, but that's a good thing. Mine is not much different. The 8 is just so perfect even with just the AP.
