Tigershark front install
I just received my Tigershark front facia from 21st Century Musclecars. It was easy to pull the old front end off. The new one lines up fairly well, but Im fairly **** when it comes to fender and hood gaps. Anybody out there that has installed there own please post whether you where able to get really good alingment without any filling or mods to the new front facia. I have just a little more gap at the corners where the hood meets that I would like and the front facia sets a little taller than the front edge of the stock hood. Thanks any info would be helpful

Good news, took the facia back off and there is quite a bit of adjustment across the front where the 2 bolts and the push pins go in at the front edge of the hood, you can move it in and out and up and down for a better fit. I still may have to remove a slight bit of material from the center of the facia but very little. Thre goal is to make it look like it came on the car and not something that was slapped on. Thanks

Mine lined up real good. It was done at a body shop so I don't know how difficult it was or if there were problems. I am very satisfied with the results though!
