you can get the v-spec fenders which are really nice. Someone also said something about a hood but I'm not 100% sure you need a diff hood. I think its just the fenders that don't match up properly. But I havn't done this yet and I would like to.

I have

The r3 rear fits. I have it on my 04. I think only the rear bumper was worth the change because the front is to much work. Plus that A** to nice haha.
