I believe Ecklers sells the real TS kit and a Google search revealed that tigersharkcorvette.com lists all the pieces.

I won’t guarantee that it can be trusted - it came up on a search and I saw a 2018 date on it so I assumed it was a current site.
As with anything, due diligence and research would be advised.

I can't recall where I got mine but I have had my rear TS for a decade or so and still love the look.
You'll need to figure out your reverse lights if you don't use Euro tails (mine are in the license plate frame) and your exhaust.
Good luck if you decide to take the plunge

All the Duraflex fiberglass one's are a horror show.
I ground the foam down for a better fit

That looks FANTASTIC! I am putting a PD supercharger on my 03. The improved air flow to the intercooler would be a huge benefit and I do not like the look of a hole in the License plate filler. Does the Aero of the car get affected by the new front? I am also IN LOVE with the hood. Can you elaborate on it? Who makes it? Use stock hinge / latch? How much higher is it?
Really sweet look you got going!

I modified to look like an SS Camaro.
I fileted the sides to give it a tighter fit.
I have stock chromed hinges
Fits good but sticks up a bit on the passenger rear side
Driver side is better
.
I wanted more room for my SC pipe so I got rid of the cameltoe before the scoop
and filled it up with bondo on the rest of it.
The scoop for the intercooler comes out past the bottom

Has anyone done business with this company? Are they currently in business?

I just got off the phone, with Jim @ Tigershark. Yes, they are in business and still selling the kit components. Jim said they had a car at SEMA, earlier this month, and is going to send me some photos. Will post them here, when I receive them.
Looks like I'll be ordering a front bumper, soon.

I'd consider getting the front bumper after SC install & when I'm really tired of looking at some of the blemishes on the factory bumper....buying this piece primed selling the stock bumper for some amount & then having a body shop install/paint is probably going to damn near close to the cost of having the stock bumper pulled & repainted....I have Xpel film over it but have some surface damage on that as well, the extra air into the engine bay would be a good thing post SC install

I'm getting closer to ordering one of these front bumpers but have a question about the stock bumper components. Does the Tigershark bumper keep the stock lighting, from the oem bumper? Will I have to purchase any new parts to fit the Tigershark front?
Appreciate any input as I really want to do this.

You may have to get the screws for the grills I forget now.

Mine fit perfectly right out of the box. Quality was OEM. I crushed my front lip. I tried a couple of non-TS lips to save money including an APR, but they wouldn’t work. I have a knock off lip that I’m going to try. It’s painted and ready to go. It looks like it should work so far...
