Looks Awesome! The same thing happen to me about 2 years ago on Christmas Eve, the wife took it out and a truck ran over it and took off. Thank goodness for a witness. It was a Lady from Terminex that hit it. Police cought her and she confessed. got a new paint job after that!

I seriously doubt it's the last but who knows.
every time I cross any boarder I pull off at the closest safe spot and the fugly front plate comes off my car. I don't think other states can enforce front plate laws on out of state vehicles. at least none have ever given me any trouble.

Looks great! I love the Tigershark bumper without the spoiler. Looks so clean and subtle yet more aggressive too.

Did the repairs and new front end cost you anything out of pocket? I know that truck owners insurance covered the repairs and paint but did you have to put cash up front for the TS front end? Just wondering in case someone hits me if I could request a TS front end at my body shop :-)

I had to pay the difference between the cost of the stock and the TS the rest the insurance covered.
