Though I don't have them, I have inspected a couple up close. The quality of fit/finish is excellent, plus they are made from OEM quality urethane, not fiberglass. They are a quality item.

Paid $749. for front end and $600. for paint and install. The fit was not perfect, body shop had to do some minor work on it and the fit at the center of the hood is off. Never heard any negatives about the T/S fit but my luck is that mine didnt fit perfect.

Insurance paid for mine too, but I didn't like the rear, so I did this.......
$3000 sounds about right though

I love my Tiger Shark front end!
But I kept the rear stock and painted it black.
The only negative thing about the Tiger Shark front end for me is that it is a bug catcher. I don't know where they come from but if there are any bugs near an Interstate Highway, they end up all over my front end. I now carry a can or two of Pam in the rear and spray the front before a trip on the Interstate.

Then I figured while the car was in the shop, I had them install a MCM hood, which I paid for myself.

Thank You!
I guess it is a coincidence, but my Tiger Shark front fascia was mostly paid by my insurance company. I pulled up into a right turn lane along side of a jacked up FWD truck that was signaling a left turn from a left turn lane. He changed his mind and turned right and his right real wheel did this:
This was a week before a road trip with the Queen city Corvette Club so I did the infamous "Duct Tape MOD."
The color was a close match and you couldn't even tell from 25 feet away.
We had a great time on the trip and had the Vette fixed when we got home.

TS Questions ...
Okay, the TS's are super-fine-fine for sure. So does the front have cooling ducts? What about intakes for Vararam or a Procharger? Does the optional chin spoiler hang lower than the stock spoiler, and if so how's the scraping on slanted entrances? On the back: Backup lights are on the inside Euros, do they also signal? Will Corsa Pacecar TS Tips fit? Sorry so many ?'s, AND did anyone DIY?

Man all of your cars look great. I am sold on the rear for sure Im definitely doing the rear, im debating doing the front bumper as a tigershark or stock with added lip, im leaning more towards the c5r front look. That rear is perfect however, smooth follows the lines well and adds a rear lip, looks great. I love it in black also
Tigerharks look great.
