[V8] Took the '93 V8 on a little trip yesterday.

[Kneale Brownson]

First, the photos in the link are of a 10-valve avant. 

Second, you need V8 fenders to install V8 lights. To mount V8 fenders, you need the core support and fender bracing as well as the front extensions off the frame and you'll have to figure out extensions for the bottoms of the fenders behind the wheelwells. 

You CAN put a V8 hood on a 20-valve. I have a V8 hood on my avant.
