Kind of reminds me of how some owners have painted their Tigershark rear fascias, but the Tigershark just looks better than that one IMO.

The vette looks nice. However, The garage in the back ground needs some serious attention!!! Do you really park the vette in there?

I'm definitely not feeling the whole "Tiger Shark" rear-end. I'm much, much quicker to go buy the Specter Werks rear Fascia.

Why would anyone do that to a Vette. It has to be a photochop or something driven by an employee of the Bunny Ranch.

Many ppl may not like to look of the blacked rear end, but on race cars the rear gets so dirty from exhaust, oil and just road dirt, it is just much easer to clean.
