I don't think I would ever put them in a street car. There is no way that I could get in or out without putting the tilt wheel all the way up. When I say it's tough, keep in mind that I daily drive an 02 Z06 with Caravaggio race seats in it so I'm pretty used to tight seats. I have them hard mounted pretty close to the steering wheel which doesn't help anything.

However, on the track they are absolutely amazing.

How does your C4 compare on the track against newer cars, like a stock C6 Z06 or a GT3 etc.?

This is still my first year in the car so the I am nowhere near as fast as it is capable of. As strange as it seems, I have never actually been out in close quarters with a C6Z. I was able to pretty easily catch and drive away from non-Z C6s that I have been out with so far. I was able to pretty easily run down a 997 Porsche last time out although I'm not exactly sure what model it was or what tires he was running. In corners it is pretty comparable with relatively stock C5 Z06s on slicks. I was pretty bad under braking which has hopefully been fixed with the Wilwoods that weren't on there last time. (It had J55s on it before). The car is pretty light and the LT-4 pulls like a freight train on the low end so I can really gain on most cars on corner exit which as we all know plays a part on the big end of a straight as well. I'm sure that there are a LOT of cars out there that are faster, but even I was surprised at how capable the good ole C4 was able to hold it's own against a lot of the big dogs. I'm pretty happy with it

It is an add on to the OEM hood. Both the high rise center and louvers are part of the Greenwood kit. The fender flares are glassed in. Not sure if they were done by hand or part of a kit. The hood was together when I bought the car so I'm not sure how hard any of it was to install. You are "supposed" to attach it on top of the factory hood with some bolts, however the underneath is cut out on mine to get clearance for the big carb and air cleaner.

Here is a link to the installation instructions: CLICKY CKICKY

I love this car- I'm thinking about getting a 2nd C4 that I can turn into off street racing- here in Cali- anything worth a crap (with smog issues) can't be on the street. My current C4 is for cruising and shows-

I saw that bumper on Ebay, too! I would have bought it, but could not afford it.

It probably will not be easy to find the lenses, since Callaway doesn't sell individual pieces of the Aerobody, you have to buy the whole thing. And they won't even sell most of the other parts (turbos, etc and other goodies like that) unless you prove that you have a Callaway car. Guess they don't want a bunch of clones running around.

I wonder where it came from, and how it got separated from the car? Maybe someone wrecked an Aerobody car and was parting it out?
