That sucks, but it's a good time to upgrade at least. I'm curious, did JUST the front bumper cover get taken out?? Everything else looks fine from the pic you posted, and I'm just curious if it is.

Last year mid-summer a guy cut me off and I had to drive waaayyy right in my lane or he'd have collected the front of my car. I ended up curbing the right front wheel. Well...the wheels are C6 OEM's that I had black powdercoated. To make a long story short it ended up costing about $350 to get everything back to normal. And before I put the car back on the road I'm going to have the front wheels re-balanced cuz I used to have zero steering wheel movement at ANY speed.
My problem was minor compared to yours. Good luck with the repairs!

Ah man, thats no good. Well sounds like your not as bent as your front end is. Good luck with the fix and finding the front end you want.

Seems that everyone who sells the Tigershark front is out of stock??? The car is going to the body shop this Monday and I don't have much time to locate one or I'll just have to go with the stock front end.....

It worked great for me while I waited for my Tiger Shark Front to arrive.
You will love the Tiger Shark Front!
Put some serious thought into painting the inside of the vents Black like I did!
