The tail end looks funny in every pic I've ever looked at. In person, it's actually very nice.

I'm so in love with this, it's like getting a new car!

It's in the trunk. I had my body guy move the mounts in 2.5" and now I have to get my exhaust guy to cut the OTA pipes and re-mount my Stingers.

It sounds great like this. Same exact sound as the Stingers, just louder, and more inside the car.

Looks great. Be sure to post additional pics when the suspension has settled (or when you lower it)

It's lowered all the way on stock bolts, has been for over a year. It's the Sumitomos, they aren't as big around as the GY RFs.

That car drags on everything. When it had the RFs on it never dragged. I'm going to be in trouble with this splitter.

Welcome to the tigershark club! I love mine and I think you will be very pleased with yours. Some don't like it, but I think it's an aquired taste as some better things in life are. Good luck to you and enjoy that TS!

I know what you're saying, it's like giving up your Vette at first. But this isn't some crappy aftermarket kit, it's genuine GM stuff, sanctioned by the factory.

The first light I stopped at, a guy in a truck pulled up beside me and got me to roll my window down. He screamed at me "What kind of Corvette is that? It's badass!"

Badass is correect. The bumpers on that kit are very nice and seem to lineup and fit perfect. That's the ONLY kit I would consider. Some nice skirts would add nicely too it also. Looks great, especially with the motorsports wheels!

My body guy said he was impressed with the quality of the parts. It is sanctioned by GM after all. Not that GM is the best company on the planet but they wouldn't let crap out on this I don't think.
