Default The Tigershark Experience
Starting on my Tigershark transformation. Thanks Stephen!!

Now I need to get it off to the paint shop but that will be after I get the car back on the road. Slowly but surley its getting where I want it. Now for the rear bumper, L5 flares, either the MCM or the Fusion hood.

Not too bad. Had to trim a small amount off the bumper support. Aside from that it will need very little modification at the fender lines before paint.

Its the same thing unless you are talking about the GM Tiger Shark bumper, which nobody makes.

Not necessarily true. Recently someone started producing the Starcraft Tiger Shark pieces in a vinyl composite that comes in black.

It's a good question.

Im talking about the design is the same, not the material. Of course joshtownsend's question was kind of vague so Im not exactly sure what he is wanting to know.
