Default Tiger Shark Bumper ?

I went to a car show yesterday and saw a C5 with this bumper, (Front Tiger Shark bumper) , it looked really nice. I`m interested in buying one. I`d like some info however on the fit and finish of it. Anyone here know about this or have one? Positive and negative feeling.

I have the Tiger Shark body kit on my car. It is amazing and I am sure 99.9% of the people that have it and post will love it. Wheel to Wheel & GM spent 150k making sure that would be as perfect as possible.
You can see my sig to see the front end.

I've only heard good thing about the Tigershark kits and Wheel-2-Wheel. The Tigershark kit is the same material, urethane, as the stock bumper, so it will flex when hit. All other bumpers are fiberglass or carbon fiber, both of which will crack before noticably flexing.

W2W just put out a new book that I think accurately protrays the quality of their work: How To Build High-Performance Chevy LS1/LS6 V-8s: Modifying and Tuning Gen III Engines for GM Cars & Pickups. I highly recommend buying it, and not the other LSx performance book.
