Default Tiger Shark front bumper owners

Where did you buy your Tiger Shark bumper from? How hard was the install? Did it include the metal grilles? Do the fog lights have to be moved? Any and all advice will be appreciated.



No, this isn't my car but I'd like my front end to look like this.

Purchased mine from a Vette owner that couldn't afford to finish his project.
I still need to paint mine. And yes, mine came with all the grilles and hardware for mounting everything.

I will update as soon as I start taking my OEM bumper cover off and replacing it with the Tiger Shark.
BTW.... I'm not going to install the chin spoiler / splitter. I think it looks better without it. But that's just my opinion.

Any idea where he got it from?
I too am going without the chin spoiler because of my steep driveway.

Got mine from dennis at double d mods. Direct fit. Does come with grilles. If you have fog lights, you add that option in for mounting. Also comes with the brake air ducts.

I got mine used from VetteNuts. It was urethane original from Starcraft and came with the screens attached so all that hardware was there. It uses the stock mount points so you don't need any other mounting hardware. Fitment was OEM. I got it painted off of the car, the picture attached is it just bolted on. It's in the body shop now being blended with the fender and a new hood being installed and final fitment. I switched my factory fogs for Radio Flyer DRLs and they sit way back that's why there is so much space between the lights and the opening. Recommendation, whoever you by it from, make sure it is urethane Starcraft version.

I actually think this was Jason E's car from Florida. Sold him his second one as the car was wrecked. Jason sold the car a few years ago and have not heard more other than he is doing great in his golf game

I was fortunate enough to buy mine local from a guy who was putting his back to stock to sell his car... Lucky for me it just happened to be black. Mangled my splitter.... It's okay though as I am buying Sinister-one today....

This is my TS2 in urethane purchased from Pete at CC and it came with the screens, I can't use the splitter as I'm lowered and it wouldn't last long.

Unfortunately, we all know how my tiger shark front bumper fit! Not good at all! Didn't come with the screens nor the bracket for the lower air ducts either. Had to drill extra holes to mount to fenders also. Been a total nightmare!

Did you purchase the actual real Starcraft Tigershark?

If not then yes you will have issues.

I agree with some of the replies I brought in glass and they were crap I then brought in Urethane that required only a little work and fitted up spot on, starcraft product.
