Default Tigershark Kit Discontinued??

I'm curious if anyone knows or can confirm if all the Tigershark body panels have been discontinued? I recently noticed that the TS hood has been. A great looking hood, imo.

I've been planning to purchase a new TS front bumper for my Z in the next few months. But I'm not sure if buying a new one will be possible.

Might give west coast corvette a call since they sell the hood.

I believe Detroit Deluxe, Corvette division, has the original molds and was still making them earlier this year. You can google them and find out

Oh no. Now I'll never be able to make my American sports car look Japanese.

edit: looks like this wasn't an announcement, and they are actually being made still.

In that case: good news! Everyone can make their American sports cars look like imports!

I remember seeing a Tigershark Z06 on Jay Leno's Garage. At the time I didn't know that it was a Tigershark.
All I knew as a design professional, was that it was beautiful and well integrated into the C5 design ethos.
The Tigershark is far and away from a typical "body kit".

Hopefully they keep making it. I love the look of the kit. it looks OEM.

The tiger shark front combined with the RK sport rear is a great match up. JMO. So far, I am the only one I have seen that has done this.

I thought I read that one of the C5 designers had a hand in the Tigershark kit. Anyway, if you are going to change up the C5 body (which is awesome by itself) - the Tigershark front end is one of the best looking IMO.

Good luck with whatever you do OP!

I think the stock C5 nose is like a doorstop or a Firebird with an underbite.

The Tigershark is like a Stingray

IMO, one, if not the, best C5 Corvettes out there.
