Not sure of the answer to your question, but i have one for you. Is that the car that a female driver piloted to 210mph at the silver state in the 90's? Looks identical to it.

Coconut,

I did quite a bit of research for C4 aero parts before selecting one for my car. There is VERY little available for the C4 that is designed for racing, and even less that is race proven.

The following company made the front nose/bumper you picture:

AUTOMOTIVE ENTERPRISE
automotiveenterprise.net
650-592-7141

The owner and contact is Bob Waldschmidt. I communicated with him in April ’09 and he indicated he still had the molds. Not sure if the website is still valid.

Suggest you consider www.performanceafx.com. They have race proven C4 aero parts, and that is the nose I have installed on my car.

Default Familiar

I'm familiar with the Snake Skinner & Performance AFX front ends. The trouble is that some are hard to find.

I want the one in the photo, since it is basically a stock front end with all of the lights sealed. I suppose the Performance AFX is the next closest to that. I'd have to get it made without the 2 harge holes on the edges. Perhaps closer to this one in the lower pic, but without the round holes in it.

I don't think the "Snake Skinner" is available anymore.

A friend and I are working on getting that changed, if my friend has time this summer, he plans on making molds off of these parts and will offer them for sale.

Default c4 nose/splitter

The green #69 race c4 is my car. The front nose was developed by Jeff Noewiki (sp) and used in may applications from world challenge to ppirate racings ZR-1 c4. Currently the nose is produced by Robert Findlayson. Phone # 630- 293-3575. I believe the company name is Vector inc. You will be required to fabricate your own mounting brakets and brake ducting arrangements. If this is for a street car it could pose some issues. This piece WORKS! Hope this helps.

Here is what our nose looks like. The brake duct holes were cut into the part after it is molded, it doesn't come that way. Let me know if you are interested.

I may be interested in one without the brake duct holes. What is the asking price for these, now?

I have a complete C4 GT1 body (with almost all the parts for a second) by ACP. It does NOT bolt on, but makes the car 6" wider than stock. $900 and come get it. Not pictured but included is a second rear clip.
