There was a thread from someone who had designed one that was pretty neat. He was going to market it if he had enough interest. Sorry, not much help. Maybe others will chime in.

Anyone? Anything out there other than stock or Tiger Shark? I don't like the Tiger Shark kit, and am looking for other options.

AFAIK, you can either get the Tigershark front fascia, ACI chin spoiler, or canards(cunards?) from RKSport or Caravaggio. That's all that I've seen.

I remember seeing that a while ago. I believe it was a Torch Red C5. It was pretty slick!

Tigershark...
It fits as good as the factory fascia, very minimal prep to paint it (scuff and shoot).

He hasn't been on the Forum since March 2006. Try sending him an email.

This was one of his designs - it never came to fruition.

I believe his problems were mostly due to the funding of this project. He put up a web site some time ago where he was looking for looking for people to pre-order 10 or 12 units so he would have the funds to begin production. Personally I think this would have barely been enough to even cover the mold though. I just put out $9k having a much smaller, much less complex mold made. It's too bad, I think it's an awesome looking front fascia. I love the TS too. The only reason I don't have one is because I've already been nailed for no front plate.

The TigerShark front fascia is awesome and someday I hope to have one. Just haven't seen much else advertised as a replacement fascia for the C5. I agree that the one by Paras looked pretty good, but just didn't come about.

Guys,
Paras got something going already. His first stage is done so he should release pretty soon.
