I've been keeping up with the thread entitled "Let's see modified front ends" and like the cars posted there. I really like the tiger shark but would rather have something a little bit different than the masses. I like the tiger shark front facia that pete Quick ZO6 is modifying ( which, by the way, i phototshopped) but still not quite different enough. I really don't care for the C6 front facia for the C5. It just doesn't seem to flow with the rest of the car. So i figured i would shop something on my car that i really like, and would love to have. Here's what i came up with.

First off it is your car and whatever works for you is what you will like. Personally it looks like you are taking styling ques from the likes of the Nissan GTR and Lexus Super Coupe and the cast of the newer Euro Super cars. Including LED's short fat vents, exposed head lights, etc. Its hard to pull that off with the rest of the C5 styling and it starts to look like after thoughts when stuck on the car. The Tiger Shark seems to compliment the existing styling of the C5 and flows like it came originally with the rest of the car. Just my opinion. Oh, but then I love the Caravaggio blower hood as well, even if I did not have a supercharger that required it. So take my opinion for what it is worth...about 2 cents.
