I cant stand the way the tiger shark front or rear looks. Its ugly and just not for me or my Vette So, my vote is leave the car alone, it looks better that way.

I like it both ways. If you lower your car, no chin spoiler. Any more pics of the black car with the custom spoiler.

I vote "with" I really like the look of the front of the Vette with either the stock front end with a spoiler added or the tigershark front end with a spoiler added. I don't really care for the TS frontend without a spoiler added, though!

Old thread that I just bumped the standings to 50% by voting "without"....LOL

The extra lower section looks like an add-on to me....not to mention would be torn up in a hurry if you lowered the car even a little. But for me the "without vote" was for the cleaner more OEM look but I tend to like understated mods.

-Tony

PS....Where's the best place to purchase one of these btw?

I like it better with, however if I do the mod I will have to do it without as I like my Vette Slammed and the Chin Spoiler would have zero chance of surving the way I like to drive

I ordered both, but my car is very low in the front riding on 285/35 18s' front wheels/tire it sits at 25.75" with about 1/2" rake to the rear. I like the way it looks "with" and that is how I would vote it if the poll wasn't closed..but for functionality I have to go "without" because I would have to raise my car too much.

Just curious measuring from the ground to the bottom lip/edge of the front fender (12 O'clock position) immediately above the center of the tire...what are your (the "WITHS") vehicle ride heights? I think I maybe a little too low anyway because when I corner aggressively on freeway on and off ramps my front tires rub up against the inside of fender well a bit.

I'd say "WITH" but don't color it the same... I think either make it black or get it covered with Carbon Fiber (That's what I'm doing )

I always wondered why folks liked the TS front bumper it looks like it's smiling who the hell wants a smiling car? It doesn't look "sick" it looks cute and cuddly.
