Default Help with C6 front nose

Hey all,
I saw on here some time ago a place that is selling a C6 front bumper cover for a C5. For some reason my search has come up empty. I keep getting lots of FT ads or TigerShark (which I have alread and want a change) posts.

Maybe I am not using the search right, but I even had it narrowed down by C5 section and used different wording for this. I cant even find this on the WWW

Thanks in advance

Advanced search – bumper or C6 bumper, can’t remember which, in thread title only (I did remember the thread).

yeah it was corvette creations

the one you showed patches, though nice, ummm to me it screams something isnt right.
sure i know the corvette creations is the same thing almost, but there is just something about it that screams take off that tiger shark and put me on your car.
Given, the c6 rear he makes and side pieces (skirts and fenders) arent something i would wanna place on my car either, but hey everyone has their taste.

I REALLY appreciate the lookup!!

If I wanted the 'C6 look'...I'D BUY A C6!

Mod your car, but why do you want to make it look like another generation? I just don't get it!

This WAS/is a C4...

- ok so this was very counter productive to the thread. thanks for your input jetz, it did nothing.

as for the c6 look, to answer your question so maybe next time you wont say anything (but most likely you will), it is my choice. Hell if you buy a corvette why do anything to it. I mean why have c6 z06 power in a c5? you might as well buy a c6 z06. right? according to you.

to me it isnt about making it look like a c6, it is about making it look different. sleaker, more racy, more original.... who knows. this is why i bought the tigershark front fascia (which is very similar to the c6 in looks though different still) and this is why i am looking at the corvette creations front end too. and even if i was to make it all look like a c6, like the picture above changing a c4 to c5 styling, why not. it is the owners choice, not yours. you dont like it, just dont look at it. kinda like tv, you dont like a show, change the channel. but most likely you are the type that will sit there watching the show bitching about it the whole time, arent you?

anyways, so next time when you have obviously had a few to many of these

[/QUOTE]

please dont muck up anyones posts with your useless comments.
thanks

You really got bent out of shape, because I stated my opinion! YOU better put the bottle down.

''it is the owners choice, not yours."

That's right Jeff, but don't feel so insecure about someones opinion!

- Gee Frank, thanks for being my therapist. I guess I am cured now. Yeah ok, seriously... It was an opinion yes, but please tell me exactly how your post helped the thread? It didnt. It is that simple. You decided to post in a thread that was asking for information and facts, not Frank's Opinion. I am sure there are many out there that are posting right now asking for Frank's Opinion, go muck up their posts.

Like I said the first time (even though it didnt and it probably wont sink in...):

I think it looks too edgy, but by all means, try it. It might look good with a particular color, wheel combo, etc...

I don't think the front end looks that bad on dark color car like blue one. I also saw pics of it on yellow and didn't look right.
