Default Body Kit.. Pricing

Heres the deal. I need a new front and rear bumper via various things happening, no accidents luckly. What are the price options vs. original bumpers..
Tigershark front and rear will run around 1800$ what are stock bumper prices from chevy?
Would it be worth it to get the tigershark?
Also for the rear bumper would i need a new exhaust to fit it or will original exhaust fit?

The Tiger shark is worth it if you like it.

You have to modify the stock exhaust to fit the opening in the Tigershark rear facia. Not a big deal though you just add about a 3" piece of pipe on each side to move the tip closer together.

This is a Corsa Catback but it works the same for stock.

I'll give you a low down on some stuff...

From Gm Parts House (distributor of Chevy parts, also I think a vendor):
Front: $405.42 Rear: $491.44 Total: $896.86
Those are only for the covers, not the accessories that go with the bumpers. For more info on your some prices on stock Corvette parts, check this link out.

For the fancy and perhaps nicer looking aftermarket options;
From TigerShark: (Cheapest prices I found were from WestCoastMuscleCars, also a vendor. These prices are limited time so make up your mind quick.)
Front: WCMC offers $849.99 Rear: WCMC offers $649.99
Optional Front Chin spoiler: WCMC offers $429.99
Total (no chin spoiler): $1499.98
Total (with chin spoiler): $1929.97

Heres an alternative to the rear. Brand is SpekterWerkes (also vendor). It's a stock looking rear bumper, but it has a slight lip spoiler thats actually integrated into the fascia. Price is from WCMC (cheapest price I have found):
Rear: $849.99
Total (with TigherShark front): $1699.98
Link for info: http://www.westcoastvette.net/id134.html

Some persoanl thoughts: Personally, I think the stock aggressive look of the SpekterWerkes Rear looks better than the TigerShark rear. The TigerShark rear is a love/hate thing. The SpekterWerkes+Tigershark front is quite a stunning combo.

When you make your decision, tell us!
