If it fits the real Tiger Shark perfectly and a lower price I may have to get one. Hell I may get two and paint them at the same time since I think the life expectancy will be pretty short.

ill have pictures tonight of my bumper painted and installed if its not to dark when i pick it up.. i had this bumper, front lip, ACI rear spoiler, fuel rail covers, fuse box cover and my c6 rear mudguards all painted. i also had the front corner lights, depo headlights and side markers tinted and had the complete car touched up and buffed..

complete bill from the body shop was $820 for everything...... pretty damn good deal i thought... there was alittle work 3-4 hours in the front bumper but was still WAYYYY cheaper than the orginal tigershark bumper...

bump this tread for a awesome seller and anyone who is thinking about buying this bumper better jump on the deal when its offered!!!! awesome price without the corvette tax!!!!...

thank

If you make it like that, for $600 i will commit to it.

If I make a hood, I will try to keep it in the $600 range, but again I would need at least 10 people to make it worth it

Well I could easily get the TS rear made, although it would take a couple months. Again, if there was enough interest in having that made I could get it started.

I will be starting the GB here in a bit, but just to let you know the front bumper alone (no lip) will be $400 + shipping.

So this company your purchasing them from took a mold of the tigershark bumper says their made out of "duraflex" and people are ok with this?

Judging from the website, they copied Veilside, Saleen, Tigershark and I'm sure a whole lot more than that. These companies went through a great deal of design, testing and manufacturing to create this and I doubt it was for somebody to come behind them and rip off all their work.

We also don't know a great deal about what it is that its manufactured out of. Duraflex turns up nothing for me except this company.

Am I being soft or is it OK as long as its cheaper?

Well thats good if you want to pay more, but not everyone can afford to pay $1200+ for a front bumper and lip. Im just wondering how making a copy of the bumper affects you? Is it taking money out of your pocket? Im not trying to be rude, but I dont get it when people get upset because there is a cheaper alternative.
