Default TS front bumper questions

I am new here and had a few questions, I am looking at the TS concepts front bumper and I have a few question for anyone that has this bumper. The first questions is can still keep my vararam intake, the second question would be what kind of fitment issues has anyone had with this bumper. Thanks for any info

Can't comment on the fitment issues too much since mine was professionally installed, but the body guys said it matched up pretty good. There were a few low spots that needed to have some material added adn then sanded down.
Not sure about the Vararam because I am using the K&N FIPK on mine but I seem to think that no you can't without serious work.
Still love the look and I added the TS rear last year. Doing L5 flares next.

Are you talking about an original Tigershark or a replica? I believe you can still use the VR intake but you do need to modify it to work.

I was thinking the replica because it is cheaper, but maybe the real tigershark would fit better? Do you know what the price difference is on those.
Thanks

Yeah I can get the replca for $550 shipped for bumper and lip. The original is about $800 for the bumper alone + shipping. If you have a good bodyshop they can easily do the work as I have a few customers with the replica on their cars. They original fits really good, but still needs a little tweaking as well.

Wow $550 shipped for the bumper and lip sounds really good. Do you have them in stock? It might be worth trying to do some customizing to get the intake to fit.
Thanks
