Default Tigershark nose

OK, you guys have got me intrigued. I keep seeing pictures of your Tigershark front ends and I'm interested. I'm still waiting on my insurance check, so, no parts are ordered. How much is the bumper pad, who is the best priced vendor, and do I need to change bumper supports?

Thanks,
John

Check with Vette Essentials - I believe they carry the Tigershark line.

You dont have to change any mounts and it actually fits nicer than the OEM. Price depends on whether you order it with or without the foglight kit. If you check further down on the Forum page here I believe someone was just doing a group purchase on it. I ordered mine directly from the new manufacturer Starcraft in Indiana. You will not be disappointed.

Starcraft is the only manufacture, there is a group purchase going on now here on the forum. Got mine thru a company out of Texas. With the fog light kit you will pay about $1,000. If you can have it shipped to a commerical business address as it will be about $60. cheaper to ship. The fit on mine was not perfect, it sits lower at the center of the hood and corners near the headlights needed to be massaged. I am very happy with the front end. Tom

Ah, you took my advice! Good luck with everything. Now if only I could hit a deer to get a tigershark front end! Nah I changed my mind, I would rather not hit the deer.

I just replaced my front facia. I looked at the Tiger shark and it's nice but not $600 nicer than stock.

My 2 cents worth.

I got mine last year when 21st Centruy Muscle Car had their annual sale. Got it to my door for $730! I think the sale price was like $600 + freight.

I ordered it w/o the foglight kit, but to my surprise I got the kit So of course I ordered some nice PIAAs and did the conversion to my Z.

In my case it fit better than oem... the wheel wells are now a constant radius vs. the 1/2" off the oem facia was.
