What a difference that makes! I never was that fond of the Tigershark front end, but that makes it look great.

Or who can make a retrofit kit: Plugs that can be bonded in to block the stock light openings, LED light and mount assembly, small can of flexible quality bondo type stuff, etc..

I think we could have another successful forum vendor or a more successful current one!

OMG, that looks stunning. One of the vendors should make such a front facia, they would sell a boat load.

My TS front's still stored away in its box, so I can't check at the moment, but isn't that lower opening used for the brake ducts, or is that the one around the fog lamps?

I hate that this thread came out because I was thinking about the Audi style LED's for the front TS corners for a while and this was supposed to be my winter project and I wanted to be the first to post pics.

However, I am glad that this pic got posted because it gives me a good idea on how great that really looks...especially without the stock turn signal slot. I've been talking to a couple custom body shops about this and they all want to put standard LED strip lights in and I think it should go with the larger Audi or Porsche style LED's and not those small LED strips you see on other posts.

I would definitely put my name on the list if someone where to come out with this front end and light combo.

Well, I was thinking that insteald of a solid light filling the whole space, since the idea is to use LED's, you can fabricate a thin light bar that handles the whole. Something that would have a couple of thin vertical bits to hold it in place. I actually think it'd look cooler to not see any structure in there but the LED's themselves.
