The style can be duplicated rather easily in some parts, the header template/navbar would probably be the only real challenge.
Ask the skin designer if its okay if you can use some of his code to help guide you along the way.
ya true but I am not that much a professional with ripping of skins! plus the designer really deserves to keep the codings exclusively for vbulletin.org as I can see he did a real good job so I appreciate his efforts really.
