Default rear bumper cover

Decided to change the rear bumper cover. So far happy with the results.

Looks nice. Any links to purchase? Would like to see it after the lights are installed.

Pretty sure those bumper covers were discontinued, many years ago.

That was definitely a lucky find if you like that style. Good job with the install so far. I look forward to seeing pictures of the completed job.

I bought one of those for my former Z06 and it also fit like crap so I returned it to Pete. If the quality was as good as a Tigershark, I'd buy another one, tomorrow.

Foolishly, I didn't do a "test fit" first, before getting the fascia painted, because I didn't want to tie up the car without a fascia while waiting for the new one to get painted. So, I incorrectly sent it out for paint first, then mounted it, at which point I then found out how poorly it fit, and how "lopsided" it was. So, that was a $1000 dollar lesson, $700 for the fascia and $300 for the paint work...............



(in good consciousness, CC should have issued a recall to anyone who bought one of those fascias!!0

FWIW, two of the nicest C5Z's I've seen, have those rear bumpers and they fit pretty well. Mine fit well but the front of the ducktail had too many ripples, for my liking.
