Default ZO6 TigerSharks

I've only seen pics of one members Z with the Tiger Shark kit. Is there anyone else that has it? I'm trying to make up my mind if doing the kit would take away from the ZO6 package.....

What are your thoughts of doing this to a Speedway Z? Should I leave it unmolested since its pretty rare?

I love speedway white , I think it would look awsome. You can always order a new nose and have it painted as a replacement if you change your mind down the road. i have a buddy with a CE Z, and he bought a new nose from GM direct.

I was thinking about the same thing with my Z06. I just want the front and rear pieces though.

Nice pics!!

I too have been thinking of a Tiger shark rear, front maybe after.

I feel it would look awesome in white, plus I would paint the recessed section around the tail lights in black.

I have a black one! Think of it as a negative of your car.

Check my "home URL" in my sig. The shots were taken at the tuners. Hope they help.

I, for one, think you should leave the stock front bumper on. In my personal opinion, the Tigershark front bumper looks like a retarded catfish. If you want to change up the body of your SW, just add a nice hood. The Tigershark front completely destroys the looks of the C5, IMO ...the Tigershark rear, on the other hand, looks great.

I'm a big fan of the Tiger Shark kit.
Here's a pic of my front.

I think you should go for it. I'm not just saying that because I would love to see how the TS looks on speedway white.

My version of opening up the front end. I do this mod for $100 including OEM mesh for Forum members. If you do go w/the TS front end, save your OEM nose.
