Boy you ARE confused today!

The LeMans kit is ONLY flares no rear diffuser like the 4.6/4.8, no front bumper/valance panel/spoiler either.

Look carefully at my pics and that link - at the lower part of the REAR flares. See how it wraps UNDER the wheelwell? The 4.6/4.8 does not do that it just goes straight down. If you put it on w/o the rear diffuser from the 4.6/4.8 it wouldn't look quite right. Thats the only piece thats different from any other 4.6/4.8 lower bumper support trim.

That retrofit kit is really for people who are NOT gonna put the rear diffuser from the 4.6/4.8 but want flares and still not look like its missing something.

Still confused? Tell me no, please?
