If you don't like the TigerShark style, I'd have to say the stock one. Not many others out there that I really like.

The stock c5 bumper looks like a 91 firebird and the tigershark looks kinda mazda to me. I like the c5.5 so far.

This is our TS2 bumper, we eliminated the parking lights and led's are used instead.

What I have noticed is the ts series looks to be very high quality as far as shape a fitment. Its just not my taste. I would like something like the c7 ideally . The c6 looks nice but the lines are a bit sharp for a c5

I agree, been looking for something like this but there doesn't seem to be much available.

Can you do the ZR1 style chin with the 5.5 nose? I like that a lot.

I really like the C5.5 bumper, I think they are called 2F Performance. A friend in Guadalajara México has one and his car looks great and the fitment is perfect.

The gray one is my friend's, I found the white ones on google.

That's a very cool looking bumper, looks a lot cleaner without the center plate holder.
