No offense but I think the front looks like crap. It looks as if it's smiling and saying "Hi" dare I say Dodge Neon "Hi"??? Now the rear looks bad *** but I think the front should be more aggresive IMO. I just never understood the whole tigershark kit since the front is so tame to me. I guess I shouldn't say the front looks like crap but it gives off that "soft" look. The C5 looks so aggresive and streamline that it should have a front end that says "**** off bitch".

Thats were I disagree, I think the front looks awesome, and the Tigershark back looks like someone is squezzing the crap out of the car to the point where the rear lights are about to pop out

I think his car looks great

LOL you read my mind!!! Now I wouldn't go to the same extreme you did and say it looks like crap, but when I see the tigershark front end, I always think to myself, "Man that thing looks like its smiling at me."
