the orginal tigershark does but this company doesnt.. i just moved my foglight down about 2-3 inches so the are in the centered behind the mesh..

no you can keep the air dam. and the stock rad shroud

not sure

i would say it would help due to the bumper being alot more open in the front

do they make a screen to accomidate the fog lights?

do you just delete the stock air dam (if you are not installing the lower lip)?
what happens to the stock rad shroud?

does the center section (without the lip) clear sharp inclines better than stock?

does this help or hurt cooling?

Thanks

i agree. i have the twin snokel intake and my filters are right by the front impact bar. with this bumper the center screen allows fresh, cold air right to the filters. its great! i can hear the air sucking into the engine and it sounds amazing!

kustom kreations by kibbons did the work.. do a search online and you will find some nice top show cars he has done

i agree that tri coats are expensive.. red is almost always the most expensive color, that included all shades of red.. yes yellows are also expensive..

the mag red and yellow where more expensive more do to the fact of the extra steps to paint 3 coats instead of 2 coats and not just due to the cost of material.. im talking in just a material stand point that red is more expensive
Thanks Jay!

That looks GREAT along with the other mods that you've done! That's a Fantastic price for all that you've done!

I might have to get one of these! I'd get the lower piece probably too, even if I didn't use it much. I'd do this just for the fact that while it's getting sprayed, it'd match if I did decide to use it. The nice thing is that I could take it off and put it on for a different look. I think that Illinois roads would kill it though (I'm sure that you know what I mean there)!

This is a Phenominal price for this piece.

I'd like to know if I could mount fogs too, since I just ordered HID fogs and would hate to not be albe to use them.

How many more of these do you have available?

Thanks for answering those questions Jay. I have about 7 left, or possibly less I would have to check. I have lot's of interest, and some people just waiting a few days to pay. Let me know. Thanks

so there ain't really been much said about the parking lights. why did one guy have to custom-fab some mounts for his corner lights? how do they mount on this bumper before any modifications?

i'm really interested in one & need to pick it up within the next few days if i do get one, but i want to know how everything's gonna fit before i get stuck with a bunch of unplanned hours at the shop having them make stuff just to get it to even bolt up correctly. i understand they'll have to massage it to get it lined up - that's expected.

thanks
