Tigershark front end
I was looking into putting on the tigershark front end and was wondering before i take the plundge does anyone have any regrets with installing this kit. I thi9nk it looks good and heard it lets in alot of cold air, i would love to see some pis of it on our cars and can you get it cheaper than almost $900 on their website.

I love the Tiger Shark front end. There are quite a few forum members that have it on their car. The only thing I don't like about it is the lack of a place to put the front plate (required here in Missouri). Otherwise, it is an awesome looking piece.

I have considered the same thing.
My stock nose has a pair of tears on the drivers side from a run in with a possumm.
If the shop wants too much to repair, then I will go with a tiger shark front end too.
Where IS the best place to get it?

I can sell them if I wanted but Keith at Tigershark Corvette or www.tigersharkcorvette.com has really great prices. The dollar amount might seem high but dealers pay through the nose on it. R&D from Wheel to Wheel was 120k just on the front nose alone. I have one going on my car this week along with the rear. Cant wait to see how it turns out. Heres what mine will look like with the twins intercoolers in place of the fog lights.
If this doesnt work, I can relink it.

not to be cheap but to simply ask a question that I am sure is posed often,
The only difference between the non fog lamp and the fog lamp versions of the TigerShark is the fog lamp bracket?
(for roughly 140$)
Is it very involved in repositioning the lamps?
Thanks guys

When you use the Vararam with the T.S. fascia there will be a portion of the scoop blocked, but there is still plenty of air getting rammed in. I didn't see any loss in performance with the T.S. fascia and Vararam.
thanks. I was thinking I would have to cut off the front portion somewhat. Glad someone else has already done it
