Here's a couple threads to get you started.

There is some good tech in this one as well as "we can't get ahold of you" stuff.

Blackdog also sells aero parts for the C5.

Coincidentally, there are a couple of choices, but the first thing you need to answer, is do you really want to ratchet up the price of the track habit? Remember, when you wreck or have an incident with all that aero stuff installed, it just becomes something more expensive to fix.

Once you understand that and want to proceed, there are 2 active threads that will tell you about anything you want to know. The threads took different roads to get to aero nirvana.

David Farmer has a thread, “Recession Aero” that tell about how to get there on a budget.

Dennis Mitchell (Beretta) has a thread “Aero Project” that has a much larger budget and tells how he did it.

Read the threads, and decide what you want.
