Yes except that where it meets the front bumper cover, it won't match up. There might be other differences but that's the only one I noticed.

Thanks Shark.
What do you mean though by they won't match up to the front air dam? Big gap?

Check out the pictures in the sales brochure where the flare meets the bumper cover and compare w/ a non-Z/71 bumper.
