If you are changing the complete rear facia like you can on some body kits, then yes the rear will work on both the V6 and V8. If its only a rear lip like the Street Scene kit, then the V6 and V8 will be diffrent. The only other thing is that if you change the complete rear facia, it will force you to put dual exhaust on a V6 as the V8 will come with 2 exhaust outlets. On the front, the grille opening is diffrent so you are correct- you would need to change the grille shell to the V8-GT style. The other diffrence is that some of the mounting points are diffrent from the V6 to the V8. Erebuni and some of the others might have found a way to make a universal mount system. The wheel wells are also slightly diffrent, but again, they may have found a way around them.

It only fits the GT's but a 6 cylinder rear is coming. The V8 has a lip around the back facia that the Street Scene rear valance attaches to. On the 6 there is no rear lip. ( have a look at the bottom area of the V8 vrs the V6) The 6 needs a little bit diffrent style cue and attachment method to work correctly hence two diffrent part numbers.
