Default Question about Tiger Shark Front End

Has anyone used it for a front breather conversion (Air cools the radiator from the front and not the bottom)? That would be alot better of doing a front breather conversion on a C5 besides getting Z06 front screens and Halltech Ram Air Tunnel Port.

Thanks

I never have liked them that much and I think im the only one but I dont care.
It makes the car look more narrow and makes it look cheap IMO

ZO6 screens( with removed fog light shrouds ) and the tunnel port will get more air flow into the engine compartment than the Tigershark fascia. IMO the Tigershark fascia has lost its appeal since everyone and their dog now has one now a days.

I know the Z06 screens and halltech tunnel port is alot cheaper and probably works as well but it doesnt look as good to me. I'll try that out first though when I do get a C5 and if I like it I wont bother with the TS front.
And I think the TS front makes the C5 look more like an FD RX7
