Didn't know you had that bumper , looks great mate .

Hope to ship one over here asap .

Do you guys still use the stock 3 piece under bumper spoiler with the tiger shark ?? .

I don't think i can use the chin spoiler , think it will get wrecked over here

Thanks for any help guys
I couldn't make the 2 corner pieces work but I did keep the center spoiler piece on in order to scoop up as much air as possible.

Thanks for posting this thread! I have been looking at this set up for a few years unsure how it would look. Glad to see it would look good together. I knew my driveway would eat the TS chin spoiler after 2 or 3 times lol.

I'm lowered on coil overs and I can't find a lip that doesn't scrape.

Default Overheating issues with the c5r splitter

did your car run hotter with the c5r splitter have a tiger shark bumper and want a splitter but when I had one on the stock bumper it cause it to run hot. Don't like the tiger shark splitter like the c5r better but don't want to cause a cooling issue

Open up the front and close the bottom...make your car a front breather and it will cool better than before. That's the best way to do this with TigerShark and it can be done as well with oem front bumper cover.

If you zoom in on my third pic down from top, you will see my heat exchanger for my supercharger, I removed the bumper foam, and an afco heat exchanger c/w fans sits there, and is isolated from the rad . The rad is cooled from the bottom, engine runs cooler than ever, no problems!

Mines not supercharged and I had one splitter on there already that kept air from getting to the rad and cause it to go from running around 190 at 85 on the interstate to 240+ with the splitter on
