Tiger Shark front bumper: custom lips/splitters
Tossing around the idea of a Tiger Shark front bumper, and I am not fond of the matching front lip offered as an option. Not from a visual standpoint or a functional one. I have seen a couple guys running the "C5R" style splitter that seems to fit okay. Have any of you TS bumper owners used a different lip? Anything else even close to fitting? I understand that the TS bumper is unique, and any lip added will need to be modified. Just wondering if anyone has done anything a little different. Thanks!

In my experience it scrapes on everything... I like the look, very menacing... But I have removed it, painted it more than once.

C5R lip looks ok, but I would make an undertray to add some functionality to it.

I had a modded CR5 which being hard fiberglass got smashed so I found this universal urethane one for 89.00

I cut it to narrow it then used the cut pieces to extend the depth to fit to my satisfaction.
This winter I'll use a Bondo urethane repair kit to bond and finish it better.
I sprayed it with blue peelcoat.
CR5 cut and narrowed side to side and wheelwell canards cut off to set it in.
Universal
For the price I bought an extra one as a spare.
