Default Anyone a fan of this?

I saw this the other day and was wondering... does anyone have a pic of this rear end in millennium yellow? I am digging this on silver but I want to know how it would look in a different color.

Tigershark rear bumper. Loved by many, hated by me. Do a forum search for tigershark and you will find the photos you want.

Crosis looks a lot like the Tiger Shark rear, but could it be a decal to simulate the t/s rear??

The t/s rear has a built-in (molded) spoiler.

Yes, looking closely that could be what that is. LOL That makes it even worse.

However, that appears to be a stock rear bumper. The tigershark has the license plate up high between the taillights.

I'd have to see better pics, but I'm kinda diggin it. Never seen that done before. It looks like a decal, but Plastidip might be a better choice foe an experiment like that.

That's a stock rear bumper with the bottom valance painted and taillight section painted.

I'm not crazy about it overall and wouldn't do it (I have a black car anyway) but I think it would look better if they painted over the CORVETTE lettering and just added some silver overlays instead of cutting out the section where the letters are.

To each their own...

Am I a fan of that? NO. Maybe if it had flames on the sides?

Hey, you asked. If you like it, it is your car.

It looks like there is something different about the body work just behind the front wheel and directly under the side vent. Maybe it's a wider front fender or something along those lines?

It is different. That is a stock rear fascia with what looks like either paint or a decal applied. Not a fan of that look but everyone has an opinion on what looks good to them. If you like it from the pic, do it in Plasti-Dip first and then see how you care for it over a period of time. Plasti-Dip can be removed easily if it turns out it is not for you.

Yeah... I woke up this morning thinking it looks like the tigershark bumper. For some reason I couldn't put my finger on it earlier. One of my buddies said it does look like a Dodge if i did that. I was just hoping if anyone did that so I don't have to wait to experiment with it since the car is in the shop for another week right now.

Although after looking at the tigershark body, I really dig the front bumper better than the OEM one. Looks like I am going to have to sell the Vararam in favor of the Blackwing soon.
