The design feature that really turns me off on a C6 is the slack jawed, toothless grin of the front facia. Sorry - me no likey....
I've seen the car in person several times. He did an awesome job of trimming and fitting the front facia, but I still don't like it.

I like it...If my bumper got smacked, I'd consider this as a replacement (I was on the fence on the TS bumper-it looks as if it's smiling)

I like the fact, for aerodynamic reasons, the foglights have a plastic shield. Since this wouldn't work for my Vararam intake (and I think only the stock bumper does) I wouldn't want this....but its not bad looking for someone else.

I have a C5Z, and I like it this way... I don't want to make it look like I'm trying to make my C5Z look like a C6...
Looks like a quailty fit though. I'll give credit on that...

I think I still like the Tigershark bumper better, but that C6 looking one is not too bad.

for those that live in a front-plate state, this type of facia would get ruined by the addition of a license plate.

You're right, however if I was driving on a two-lane road and passed it going the other direction, I would probably hurt my neck turning my head so fast trying to figure out what kind of Corvette it was.
