According to their web page, it should be really good for F/I applications. I kinda like it too.

I like it, but it's so subtle that a non-Corvette person probably wouldn't notice it.

It's too much like a C6 Corvette, I'm not sure I like it. I would pass on that for a Tigershark.

wow, I love it. and it takes OEM C6 light parts, which is awesome. Would custom wiring need to be done you think?
Only thing I noticed was that there is no provision for a front license plate for those that are required to wear one

Without a doubt, I love my Tigershark front but I think this bumper is pretty good. I'm really curious how the fitment will be. Speaking from experience, aftermarket stuff never fits as good as OEM. Some finessing (not a terrible amount) was necessary for my Tigershark install and my WCC hood had to be trimmed in a few spots.

Looks like a step in the right direction, but could still stand some improvement. Wish they had designed it to re-use the C5 lighting?
