Hey moron, I've told you in at least one of your many posts asking for this information ... IT IS A FASCIA ... a Corvette does not have BUMPERS, let alone "covers" for them.

Are you a troll ?? You've got a post in November of 06 claiming you just bought a Z06, a post in December that the moderator closed trying to sell said Z06, another post shortly after claiming your car was damaged (you offer to post pictures ... what a surprise ... NONE) and now several posts asking the same question about "bumper covers". Also, your profiole is still blank.

Troll

I'm trying .... but look at this guys profile (IT RIPZ06) and see that he's posted this question several times, and has gotten responses ... he just keeps posting with the stupid "bumper covers" .... sheesh, I'd sure like to see where the "bumpers" are on his "Z06".

So tell me where the "bumpers" are on your Corvette ????????

Corvettes don't have bumpers ..... so they can't have "bumper covers"

They have (according to the GM Service Manuals and many sites) fascia ..... see

http://www.lingenfelter.com/store/ts-2883-9508-01.html

http://www.indovina.us/~mai/corvette/z06_exterior.htm (scroll down to drawing of grilles in front fascia)

http://www.corvettegarage.com/produc...-corvette.html (and read the description .... "The Tiger Shark C5 Styling Kit includes a revised front fascia with more aggressive functional grill opening, a sleek and detachable front chin spoiler, air extracting hood, and a clean rear fascia with integrated spoiler. "

Again, please let me know where the "bumpers" are on your Z06 ...

Thanks,

Steve

This is no longer productive. The Starcraft bumper covers are Tigershark Replicas. The Tigershark is no longer in production. If you're looking for the bumper cover with only one central opening with 4 strakes, that never made it into production.

Oh, and note how the "Tigershark" body kit is 0.00 dollars at Corvette Garage? Yeah, now think a little harder. They're not giving them away.

wasnt on corvette garage, thanks. i think it was west coast corvettes, and yes this is no longer productive, i neeed no input, just gonna replace with the factory one. im in a front plate state anyway, if i get caught, a plate would kill the tiger front even more than it does the factory one.
