Tiger Shark and PIAA HELP
OK I have a problem, I just had a tiger shark nose painted for my car and am trying to put it all back together. I also have a PIAA fog light kit to install but the lights do not fit in the sotck OEM mounts that are on my car and they dont line-up with the new nose. Can anyone that has done this mod or knows how shoot me some help? thanks

The TS front end for the driving lights comes with offset brackets needed to mount the lights. The stock bracket is inverted and attached to the TS bracket as pictured.

Eric,
Your car looks great ! ! !
- Were you able to reattach the front brake ducts to the Tiger Shark front end?
- Is the Tiger Shark front end compatible with a VaraRam air intake system?

I guess it would be possible to adapt the VaraRam air intake to the Tiger Shark front end, but I doubt there is really any advantage, as the Tiger Shark gives you an open shot to the air cleaner anyway.

Ray,
Thanks for the reply.
The important principle of the VaraRam is that it is sealed against the two grille openings on a C5 and takes only cool air from those two locations through ITS AIR FILTER directly to the throttle body.
I would not want a system that dumps air into the engine compartment. That would only add to the front end lift problem that all C5s have at high speed.
