    Replace V8 side blades with V10?

    Anyone know if it is possible to replace the V8 sideblade with V10 version with a larger air-intake?

    I believe that Rich at OEMplus sells them and that it's a bolt on piece.

    Harrison has ordered these for his car. I do not know if he has them installed yet.

    We have fitted the V10 blades to V8 vehicles several times. There are a list of parts required, but everything is straight-forward. We offer them on our site, but can provide a quote for you by email or phone if you'd like...

    I am changing the side-SKIRTS/ROCKER panels, (below the doors) ,to the V 10 units. Maybe a little more down force with these. Need to build a bigger garage for a bigger wing and wider sideblades !! \"/ Will do the install in a couple of more days.
