I believe CCA Corvettes is selling some Tiger Shark kits.

AND yes I would purchase a "used" one as I just did and will be having it painted and installed in the next couple of weeks !

I believe Double D Mods sells the TigerShark fascia also. Both vendors mentioned are good to deal with.

No do not buy a used one...........I bought a used wing one time and my painter was very upset being he had to do a lot of extra work to make it look good. Paint can hide a lot of things I would go new.

Bought mine from doubledmods. They sell the original starcraft tigershark products. Direct fit made from eurothane just like oem. All others are fiberglass and require tons of work to fit.

i currently have the BBK air intake on my car. previously i had the k/n fipk. but any others that don't have ducts to the stock fog light housings will work. the front opening of the tigershark goes directly to where the filters sit in the other air intakes.

Vararam will work with some slight modifications. The only thing is that a 1/4 of the opening will be blocked on each scoop.

It's already going to enough work to get the grills, fog lights and turn signal housings to fit back onto the Tiger Shark. I'm thinking removing the vararam while the front facia is off will be easier than modifying anything.
