Default 4" front splitter and carbon wing for C5...where to buy?

I want a 4" front splitter and a carbon wing to get some balanced down force to my C5 Race car.

Iīve searched a lot and found smaller splitters and various wings, but didnīt find a dealer who sells a balanced combo for the C5.

If anyone knows where I can get these parts, it would be greatly appreciated !!!!

Thanks!

good luck with email........not Kerry's Forte!

btw, 4" is very hard to live. Works great if you can keep it on the car. Even mild undulations in the paddock become difficult to cross at some tracks.

David, if YOU say that, I do believe it.
And I will take it into account.
I appreciate your infos !!

Maybe should stick with a 3" splitter, then?

What dimensions would you consider a good package regarding
dimensions of the fronstsplitter and rear wing.

I do hope that I get my emails answered and especially get some pictures.


If anyone else has some pix for me and/or other ideas where to get these parts, please keep them coming....

You can get 2" or 4" like I have. Not for street use. Call Kerry or you will be waiting a long time as David said.

John, the car will never be driven on the street...itīs a racecar only.
Your Vette looks pretty much like I want mine to be.

Are the Wing, hood and your 4" splitter all from ACP ?
Is that the wider (72") Wing?

Any pix of the under-tray?

Thanks!!

all ACP, under-tray is CF & hood they work realy great. Wing is width of car I believe. Wimg is 6'appox -1/2" , it is buried in my grarage hoping to be installed soon. Race car only go 4" unless yur trying to be in a certain class then check what you can use. Depending on how big a tire you want to run check clearances of fenders or the opyion of wide bady kit. Mount wing to frame and level with the roof. Mine was a bit lower and I raised it but never had time to try it yet or touch the car.
