Glad you weren't hurt! Nothing says repaired wreck quite like a Tiger Shark front end!

If you're looking for a tigershark I can set you up with one. The vararam will fit but some of the ducting will be blocked. Somebody piste pics a year or so ago but I can't find the post right now.

THAT was helpful.

Several vendors have th TS bumpers, and I don't think the Vararam will work without modification.

OK already! Yeah I feel bad he crashed and all that stuff. And I'm truly glad he's not hurt and did not hurt anybody else.

But come on don't blame it on the Vette.

Yes I'd go TigerShark but I'd do the rear end and the front at the same time.

That's the way we did my Kids FRC a couple years ago when he got hit.

btw...If I ever crash I'm gonna post up...NOT

I can remember back in the day with cars with a lot more HP than a Vette has and never depended on Active Handling. We knew howto handle a car back then.
Glad you are ok, The car can be fixed....

Heard there are a lot of fitment problems with these.

Think JW Motoring / CCA Accessories sell the Tiger Shark fronts (Urethane).

Good Luck w/repairs.

I think that you can run the C6 Vararam and it will work better with the tiger shark bumper

Sorry to hear about your car. This is a reminder of folks to be careful. I guess I've been guilty of depending on my Active Handling a little too much too.
