It's finished.
After 5 1/2 long back-breaking hours. I am finally finished with my Tigershark front fascia. It is true what they said, the fit is A+++++++++, only did a little bit of persuasion but otherwise came out great. I'm glad I did this mod.
Thank you to John at 21 MC for putting up a sale on the kits
To Gary ( Z06GMAN) for showing me how the Tigershark front fascia look like in person and to Bill ( cmyc5) for recommending a great body shop. Now if only I can sell my OEM front fascia hmmmmmmmm

And the real good thing about it. I didn't even prefit the fascia before painting, I just took it to a body shop, get the paint code, brought my car to the shop so they can get the right shade and went home, waited 2 days until they are done, took the bumper home and installed it. With all this inlcuded my prayers to make it fit perfect 
and it did.
and it did.

If you have some skills say about 5-6 out of 10 skill level, you should be able to put this on yourself. All you need really are very basic tools
Torx #15
Philips screw driver
7mm socket wrench
10 mm socket wrench
10 mm wrench
13 mm socket wrench
1/8 drill bit
Drill ( cordless or not )
Car jack, trust me, makes it easier to work around those under the car tight areas
I think that pretty much sums it up.
Oh btw, give yourself pretty much a whole day. It took me 5 1/2 long hours, if you have help, I'm pretty sure it's about half the time. Good luck.
