It might have been mentioned before but making something look full on bitchin' OEM like that is way more difficult than making something trick and custom looking IMO. What is fascinating about Mark's cars to me, in some way, is that they are not that "trick" compared to some efforts, but just so flawlessly executed.

The headlights are probably these:

Truck-lite makes the DSE "bright-driver" headlights.

These are the OE tire for the Z06 and I know Mark really likes these tires and the grip they provided on Red Devil. Or as Mark has stated many times "it's all about tires".

The wheel fitment is the same as Red Devil, except for the front wheel configuration is different as Brembo changed to a flat rotor hat style which creates more caliper overhang into the center, so we used a very deep pad on the center and a narrow outer rim and wider inner rim for the 10.0X18 front wheel.

The wheel and tire set-up is a great fit for Pro-Touring applications. Providing the latest in tire technology, American made, run flat for touring security and a great look with the 18" front and 19" rear. If you not a Goodyear fan then Bridgestone and Michelin make the same sizes (in a non run flat as well) along with Hoosier for you hard core track guys!

Warning: Michelin tires run much wider than others, check the tread width in the manufacturer tire charts (available at Tire Rack) before ordering and having wheels built. Typically we like to match the tread width to the wheel width.

Cons on the Goodyears: They are not friendly when used below 50 degrees F.

Hope this helps!

A quick update for today. We put the first 100 miles on the car today. We have a couple small issues but the car is running great. I'll put another 100 miles on it tomorrow to break in the diff and trans. Then we can start leaning on it.
