Front End Mods
So, in reparing my wrecked Z, I am thinking of a Tiger Shark front fasia with a Motor City Mold hood. Also considering C5R headlights with HIDs, but this might be too pricey. What would you guys do if you essentially must rebuild your entire front end?

Love the Tiger Shark front fasia and the Motor City Mold hood. Then you'll have room for a Magna Charger!! I personally like the flip lights better than the C5R's. Wouldn't mind some HID's though, just don't care for the style of the C5R's. I like the C6 headlights  . Good luck with your repairs. Hope I never am involved in a collision  ............Tom

I agree, the hood and front facia would be a must! Motor city makes to hoods the supercharger version and the regular version. Keep this in mind for future mods..... 
As far as the C5R lights, I love them but they are $$$$$...

I like the tiger shark front fascia and the motor city hood is nice. I'm not a fan of the C5R headlights. I like these much better. Available in chrome or black.

I had not seen those; very nice. However, I still have trouble dropping $1500 on lights....

Not that it makes much of a difference, but they do group purchases on Corvette Forum that run $1200. I guess every little bit helps. His username is NOT MEE.

I have the Motor City Mold hood and the Tigershark nose....both pieces are awesome. Fantastic fit and finish. I have had also had BPP non pop up head lights and C5R head lights from Specter Works...both are junk. Sp many issues with both light kits. I know have stock head lights but with the vette-hid.com upgrade. Their kit is one of the best kits I have ever seen. If you want serious light output along with excellent fit and finish the vette-hid.com kit is the only way to go.

What's the going price to have a hood painted? Mine has so many little rock chips in it that I may just replace the hood one of these days. I don't know how the guy drove it before I got it, but I think he followed to closely to too many dump trucks.
Would make sense to get one that would have room for a SC while I am at it..... Just in case....

Found these while looking around. They look similar to the Vette HID's for $500 less. HID components are made by Philips. Available in Black and Chrome as well. Can't tell you anything else about them.
After clicking link, HID lighting is last selection on left.

Thanks for the tip. If the C5's temperamental electrical system can handle those, I might just be interested. MADN3SS, do you have them and have they created any issues? C5's are so fussy about electrical changes. There are several changes I'd like to make, but I've been a little shy about it. I'd love to install the "CORVETTE" third taillight. Don't know where to get them, but I like them. I like the sequential turn signals too.
These are simple mods I'd like to do. One of these days  ...........Tom
